LET’S GO in Astoria, NY
For first time clients only. One intro offer per client.
FORM50 is the smartest & most effective workout in 50 minutes. It’s a full-body workout, without the toll of high-impact exercise – no running and no jumping. We combine slow and fast explosive movements on a spring-based custom reformer, designed for performance training.
50 minutes. High intensity strength training on a reformer. Afterburn for up to 36 hours. You’ll feel the difference from your very first class.
FORM50 is NOT Pilates. FORM50 and Pilates have a few things in common – both are low impact, and work on a machine. FORM50 is high intensity, which means more fat loss, cardiovascular endurance, and strength. Think high intensity strength training on a reformer. The intensity of FORM50 doesn’t suit everyone. Those who want a lower intensity workout may be better off with the restorative nature of Pilates.
Short version: same machine, completely different energy. If you’ve done reformer classes and felt like you could’ve pushed harder, this is what you were looking for.
FORM Your Foundation is a must for beginners and suitable for all fitness levels. We will help you master the foundational moves you’ll use in Total Body. This may be where you start, but it will help you build the strength you will need. In FORM Your Foundation, your coach breaks everything down step by step: the FORMFormer, all the moves, so you can get the feel and flow of killer form. Think slow, controlled, functional movements for just the right amount of intensity. This class moves at a pace that’s totally doable, but still challenging.
First class? Start here. It’s the on-ramp, not the easy option.
All classes at FORM50 are challenging no matter your fitness level or how many times you have taken class at our studio. Total Body Sculpt is our intermediate/advanced class and may not be suitable for clients with injuries or who are pregnant. However, our coaches will offer modifications and adjustments as needed. We do strongly encourage all newbies to take FORM Your Foundation first.
Total Body Sculpt is FORM50’s signature strength training class. Even regulars get humbled here. That’s kind of the whole point.
We recommend clients to take at least 1-2 rest days in between each class. Taking class 3-4X per week is recommended for best results.
This is high intensity strength training. Your muscles are actually working. Give them time to rebuild. Come back stronger. That’s how this works.
Our Coach-In-Training classes are classes taught by our trainees who are in the process of learning to become a coach. These classes are on the schedule periodically.
Same FORMFormer. Same workout. Coach in training mode. Check the Astoria schedule and grab a spot when you see one.
Very. At a regular gym you figure it out yourself. At FORM50 Astoria, your coach builds every 50 minutes for you: programming, cues, hands-on form corrections, all of it.
No wandering the weight floor. No guessing your sets. Just show up and work. It’s group strength training on a spring-based reformer with zero joint impact, a coach who’s genuinely invested in your form, and a community that actually shows up for each other.
FORM50 Astoria is 150 feet from the N/W Broadway stop. If you’ve been looking for a real strength workout in Queens, this is it.
Most reformer studios in the area offer slower-paced, lower intensity classes focused on flexibility. FORM50 is high intensity strength training on a reformer. Totally different output.
If you’ve taken reformer classes and walked out feeling like you didn’t do enough, FORM50 is what you were missing. Same machine, real strength work, real sweat, real results. And yeah, you’ll shake.
Nope. That’s what FORM Your Foundation is for. Your coach breaks down the FORMFormer and every move from scratch. All fitness levels, no experience required.
Just arrive 10 minutes early, grab your grippy socks (available in studio), and tell your coach it’s your first time. They’ve got you.
