Live Fit

I’ve just finished my 7^th class at Live Fit, and I couldn’t be happier that this gym opened up in my corner of Astoria. The classes are always challenging, yet entirely approachable and non-​intimidating. I’ve taken classes now with about 4 of the trainers, and each of them is talented and passionate about what they do. I’ve probably had the most classes with Tamara, who couldn’t be more of a cheerleader. I like her philosophy about making each work out your own. Being in class with her flies by as you’re laughing and having fun the whole time (even while she works you out hard). This is a great gym, and I can’t wait for my next work out!

Best new studio in Astoria! Bright, clean, and friendly staff. I bought the buy one class get one free for just $ 25…amazing deal! I first took the HIIT class with Michaela which I loved. Great cardio workout. I then came back and took a boot camp class with Richie who was amazing. They both provided me with two challenging workouts and I can’t wait to come back and take more classes here. Definitely worth checking this new studio out!

I decided to give Live Fit’s Pilates class a shot after moving to Astoria recently. As a ClassPass member, I mostly frequent studios in Manhattan around the area I work in. I was hoping this would be a great local option for weekends, however I was disappointed overall with the studio and class.
The biggest issue is that this place NEEDS VENTILATION! Upon walking in the smell/​stuffyness hit me, I could tell that a boot camp class had finished up prior to my arrival and there were no fans present or windows open to aid with the air quality.
The Pilates class itself also felt very beginner. I’ve taken classes with Emily before at other Studio’s and she’s great, but this level workout wasn’t challenging enough for me.

I’ll start by saying if there’s one thing I hate to do, it’s work out. I don’t feel like I’m very good at it, and I’m always incredibly self conscious to work out in front of other people. Needless to say, my stomach was in knots as I drove to my first fitness class at Live Fit. What a waste of nervous energy! I had one of the best work outs I’ve honestly ever had. Live Fit has truly turned me on to exercising more and challenging myself.
I came here with my boyfriend last Saturday when the studio first opened. The location is great and we were able to find parking without an issue. The studio is clean, spacious and has plenty of light. It is difficult NOT to feel the positive energy here, and this is one of the biggest reasons I’m excited to come back. Everyone from the owner, to the instructors, to even the other clients are incredibly nice and positive. An environment where everyone around you is pushing for you to succeed and ready to cheer you on. The ethos here alone will keep me coming back, love the positivity!
The work outs were difficult, but not in a «I totally hate this» type of way. Even though I was sweating and exhausted, I was incredibly happy and having so much fun that I loved every minute of it. I took boot camp with Richie who is THE BEST INSTRUCTOR EVER, Live Fit is so lucky to have him. He definitely kept the energy up, made us laugh, and built community within our class. I felt completely comfortable and even stood at the front of the class which is something I never do. I couldn’t walk for two days after this work out, but the trade off is that I’m pretty sure I burned every calorie I had in my body? My boyfriend did both HIIT and Boot Camp, because he’s a complete sadist, and he loved both. We couldn’t stop talking about our classes the whole way home.
While HIIT, Bootcamp, TRX, etc. might be offered at other studios, there is truly something UNIQUE about this studio. You have to take a class here to really get a sense of what I’m talking about. I have to thank the staff at Live Fit studio for turning me back on to fitness and making their environment fun and positive so that everyone from newbies to athletes gets a good work out while feeling confident! Love this place!

I used to go to a regular chain gym in Astoria, but just recently tried this new place because it was so close to me and looked cool. I gotta say 2 classes and I’m hooked.
I took the Suspension training and Boot camp classes both were killer. I never expected the Suspension class to be as hard as it was and this is coming from someone that works out on the regular. The trainers were awesome and extremely energetic. They tailor to your fitness level and change the exercise on the fly to suit your needs. I have knee problems and wasn’t able to do a specific move and they offered an alternative exercise.
They have morning and night classes to fit to people’s schedules. The space is fairly big and looks really nice and can fit a decent amount of people. The class sizes are kept fairly small to make it a more personal feel.
The classes offered are TRX (suspension training), HIIT, Boot camp, and Pilates. There are a good amount of dumbbells, kettle bells, plyometric boxes, yoga mats if you dont have your own, and foam rollers (after a good workout those are heaven!).
Check out the studio and sign up for classes. You won’t be disappointed. Come and get your butt kicked!
