About Elements Barre Fit

The intersection of athletic conditioning, physical alignment, and pure joy.

The Story of the Elements Method

Founded by professional dancer and international fitness expert Andrea Fornarola, Elements Barre Fit was born out of a desire to create a more intelligent, comprehensive, and joyful workout routine. Having spent her life studying movement, Andrea recognized a massive flaw in the fitness market: most studios forced clients to choose between intense, joint-depleting cardio or isolated toning patterns that quickly led to plateaus.

Elements was built to shatter that mold. Our proprietary formula seamlessly bridges the gap between high-performance athletic conditioning, deep core Pilates stabilization, and rhythmic, uplifting Dance Cardio. By prioritizing a careful composition of 60% tone, 20% sweat, and 20% stretch, we ensure that every session leaves your muscles thoroughly sculpted, your heart health boosted, and your body structurally aligned. We are proud to remain a completely independent, boutique brand dedicated to personalized attention, elite instruction, and vibrant local communities in Manhattan and the Hamptons.
