Founded in 2010 by Andrea Fornarola Hunsberger as a dance and fitness consulting company, Elements Fitness Studio specializes in high-energy, customized fitness classes. Never satisfied with average or “popular” workouts, Hunsberger sought to put her years of dance training into something that would truly stand out. For the first couple of years, Hunsberger used her specialized methods to consult and train others throughout New York, Connecticut and New Jersey on her copy written formula. In 2012, Hunsberger decided it was time to open her own studio space. In early 2013, Elements Fitness Studio opened Manhattan. Hunsberger noticed a need for drop-in fitness classes in this area, as the only options were gyms that require monthly contracts. She wanted to open something new, where gym-goers wanting to try out her special classes could pay a single fee per class. In 2014, Hunsberger expanded the Elements name father east to the Hamptons and opened a studio in the heart of East Hampton Village. The East Hampton studio is a custom built facility that features mounted ballet barres and a specialized sprung floor system. All of the custom equipment in the studio was designed by Hunsberger and her engineer husband, specifically for her classes. The new studio was so well received in the Hamptons it was named one of the “11 hot new places to sweat this season” by Well + Good. The Elements style of fitness is inspired by a combination of the Lotte Berk technique and Hunsberger’s own unique style from her 15 years of dance experience. Classes at Elements Fitness Studio include: Barre Fitness, Dance Cardio Sculpt, and Cardio Barre Fusion classes. Elements Fitness offers a full roster of their highly popular barre fitness classes all season long. As well Hunsberger and her team of fitness professionals have redefined and revamped the high intensity dance cardio class. The new and improved Elements Dance Cardio Sculpt is a sweat flying, calorie incinerating, fat melting 60-minute high intensity interval training class. Utilizing dance choreography as the high intensity intervals and paired with Elements signature sculpting and toning exercises, creates an easy to follow format with dance cardio sculpt results in the perfect balance of cardio and strength training. After this class attendants will boast the metabolic rate, melt away fat, and look leaner, lighter and toned!
New in 2015, Elements unveiled a new retail boutique in the redesigned East Hampton studio. The retail boutique features a selection of upscale lifestyle wear, activewear, bags and accessories personally curated by owner Andrea Fornarola Hunsberger and Elements’ barre and dance expert instructors. Featured brands include: Prism Sport, Vimmia, Phat Buddhawear, Koral, Planet Blue (exclusive fitness retailer in East Hampton), Vie Active, Sonja Roberts and Element’s own private collection. All styles perform well in Elements’ signature classes and are worn by instructors while working out. The benefit to shopping in Elements’ collection is all the styles have been hand picked for the signature classes and will not gape, roll, or slide during class. As Hunsberger says, "Fashion forward activewear that performs.” Elements Fitness Studio offers classes seven days a week through the summer season.
