Keep Fit: What’s New in Hamptons Fitness

Memorial Day weekend has passed, and with it summer in the Hamptons is in full swing! It’s officially bathing suit season, but if your beach bod isn’t quite what you want it to be, the East End has a number of gyms and fitness classes guaranteed to whip you into shape. Here’s what’s new for summer 2015.

((305)) Fitness has brought its party to The Surf Lodge in Montauk. Deemed “rave-meets-workout” this 55-minute cardio experience infuses dance moves, sports drills and high intensity interval training to create a full-body workout. Each class features a live DJ, light show and the opportunity to burn over 800 calories. For more info, visit 305fitness.com.

CityRow is coming to the Montauk Beach House. The low-impact workout alternates intervals of cardio and sculpting on and off of WaterRowers to deliver a triple threat: high-intensity sweat, low-impact burn and total body results. CityRow’s row machines are unique in that they use water to create dynamic resistance, which mimics the sensation of a boat rowing through water. For more info, visit cityrow.com.

East End Mermaid classes, which combine yoga and live music, began this spring at new studio Well Within in East Hampton, and they’ll also be held at Swallow East in Montauk and Lisa’s Lovely Organics in East Hampton. Yoga instructor Jenna Raynell and musician Joe Van Asco play off of each other during the classes, allowing collaborations to happen organically.
