Nolita Health & Beauty

Up a nondescript flight of stairs on a well-trafficked stretch of the Bowery, the modelFIT Method relies on small movements using hand weights, a resistance band, gliders, and mini exercise balls to target small muscle grounds as opposed to more traditional jump squats, burpees, etc, in a bright light-filled space. Among the best offerings: modelFIT scuplt, which targets butt, thighs, and abs, and a dance cardio version featuring follow along-style dance moves. The classes generally fill up quickly, so best to get there a little early to get a good spot.

This studio is for serious students and teachers wanting to master their practice with Eddie Stern, one of the most acclaimed teachers in the city. Teaching correct breathing and placement for all the postures, he also imparts a true passion for yoga not only as a form of exercise but as a lifestyle.
