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.
