22 Flatiron Studios Offer Online Fitness and Wellness Experiences

As New Yorkers stay at home during the COVID-19 pandemic, they can keep active and support local businesses through a wide range of online fitness classes and virtual wellness experiences from Nomad- and Flatiron-based studios. Twenty-two studios in the neighborhood, known as New York City’s “Fit-District,” now have online offerings, including dance, Pilates, high intensity workouts, circuit training, yoga and meditation.

The Flatiron/23rd Street Partnership Business Improvement District (BID) has created a webpage listing all of the classes and experiences, plus discount codes and deals. Several of the offerings are free, while some studios have subscription packages available.

The Flatiron District earned the “Fit-District” moniker in recent years thanks to its fast-growing health and wellness sector. Before COVID-19, the number of gyms and fitness studios in and around the BID’s two neighborhoods, Flatiron and NoMad, rose to 61— nearly a 70% increase since 2014.

“While we’re all staying home as much as possible, we welcome New Yorkers to virtually experience some of the amazing fitness classes and wellness experiences that our Flatiron and NoMad studios have to offer,” said James Mettham, Executive Director of the Flatiron/23rd Street Partnership. “It’s a great way for people to support our local business community, while boosting their own health and well-being during this stressful time.”
