For those that want to stay active (along with sipping a few glasses of rosé and indulging in plenty of Tate’s cookies), there are tons of fitness studio options to try in the Hamptons. Whether you’re into Pilates, cardio, spinning, yoga or HIIT classes, we’ve found all the top spots to work up a sweat during your time out East. Below, see all the best places to workout when you’re in the Hamptons this summer.
Tracy Anderson
Celeb-adored trainer Tracy Anderson now has studios in Water Mill as well as in East Hampton, and this summer, she’s launching her very own reformer. The Gwyneth Paltrow-approved workout maven has been working on the Anderson Moto Air Pro Reformer for over a year, and it’s being released at her East Hampton studio, now known as The Tracy Anderson Body Lab @ East Hampton, this summer. Starting in July, the East Hampton locale will exclusively offer private sessions on the Anderson Moto Air Pro Reformer, but you can still opt for a group class (sans fancy machinery) at the Water Mill studio. $55 to $67.50 for non-member pricing at Water Mill studio; $2,500 for 10-class package at East Hampton studio, Tracy Anderson.
SLT
SLT’s Southampton and East Hampton locations are now open for the summer, offering the studio’s signature Megaformer workout. It’s a notoriously tough class, but you’ll leave the sweat session feeling so good afterwards. If you’re still not too keen on the indoor workout, don’t fret, as SLT is also planning on hosting outdoor pop-up classes throughout the summer, as well as private in-home sessions. $45 per class, SLT.
SoulCycle
If you’ve missed your spin classes dearly over the past year, then definitely check out SoulCycle’s Hamptons studios; there are now outdoor classes Bridgehampton (Barn), Water Mill and Montauk locations.
