Of Barre, Bands, and Boards

Elements Fitness, a barre, dance, and stand-up paddleboard studio and fitness company, is moving to a new location in East Hampton and adding more classes there and elsewhere on the South Fork as the season heats up. 

The studio, which opened in East Hampton two years ago, has moved from 66 Newtown Lane to a larger, three-story space at 68 Newtown Lane. Elements was founded by Andrea Fornarola Hunsberger, a professional dancer, personal trainer, and entrepreneur. 

The schedule this summer includes a range of core-strength-building and cardio-boosting offerings. A sampling: HIIT the Barre, a 50-minute high-intensity interval-based class with weights and resistance bands; Elements Barre Fitness, based on the Lotte Berk method, which incorporates isometric exercises, interval training, ballet conditioning, and the principles of Pilates core work and yoga stretches; SUP Style and SUP Tech, an introduction to stand-up paddling; SUP Barre, which blends strength-building and paddle work “to achieve maximum calorie burn,” and Elements Paddle Fit, which incorporates interval training on and off the paddleboard.
