(NEW YORK, NY) — This year in fitness it’s all about going hard, at home. According to top publications, such as Architectural Digest, one of the biggest workout trends of 2019 is the luxury of working out at home – “fitness fanatics are not fans of the current state of boutique studios and fancy gyms: classes are overcrowded and hard to reserve, prices have skyrocketed.”
Taking note of this, residential developments are enhancing their fitness amenities and partnerships to bring high-end classes & programming, technology, and services right to their residents … right at home.
From group yoga classes with Lululemon to Peloton bikes to medical concierge services and more – at-home workouts are about to experience a renaissance.
Below are fitness centers at luxury condos with novelty features, pushing the envelope to offer something a little extra for residents.
SUMMIT
Working out at home is making an epic comeback and being touted as the latest fitness fad. At Summit New York, a luxury rental tower in Midtown Manhattan, the building’s concierge, LIVunLTd, hosts weekly yoga and HIIT classes, along with bringing in personal trainers and boutique fitness studios for events. The “Arena” is the residents’ own personal gym – equipped with Technogym cardio and strength machines, Peloton bikes, and basketball and squash courts. Residents even have access to Lululemon x Summit branded yoga mats and yoga classes.
