HIIT It Real Good

If you’re looking to recommit to your fitness goals in the new year, you’re in luck. These boutique fitness studios offer smaller group exercise classes so instructors can give you more attention than you’d get at a traditional gym. Whether you want to sculpt your body in a low-impact class, burn major calories in a high-intensity interval training (HIIT) workout, or sweat it out in hot yoga, you can easily find something to suit your exercise style in Astoria.

Lagree NY

This fitness studio is known for its low impact, high-intensity workout that marries Pilates, strength training, and cardio. The 50-minute total-body class is done entirely on the megaformer, a fitness machine that has a moving platform and springs for resistance. Moves like lunges, squats, and side crunches are performed slowly and controlled to activate your “slow-twitch muscle fibers,” a.k.a fat-burning and endurance muscles. Prepare to shake in the best way!

Form50 Fitness

If you love that shaking feeling you get in your muscles after an intense workout, then you’ll also enjoy the full body workout here. It combines low-impact interval training with fast movement on the studio’s custom designed “formformer” machine, which is similar to a megaformer. The 50-minute total-body class features strengthening and toning moves like pikes, planks, and lunges that burn so good. The best part? This class is set to a party playlist beneath club-like purple neon lights, so you’ll almost forget you’re working out.

Orangetheory Fitness

This super-popular boutique chain finally opened its doors in Astoria in 2019. The one-hour, full-body workout is broken down into three sections: rowing, cardio (walking, jogging, or running on a treadmill), and strength training. You’ll wear a heart rate monitor during class, which syncs your real-time results to screens across the studio. The instructors will guide you through five heart rate zones, with the goal of spending 12 or more minutes in the “orange zone” to burn maximum calories and fat.
