THE BEST 50 MINUTES OF YOUR DAY
in Midtown East recovery studio
Recovery isn’t optional – it’s part of the work. The FORM50 Oasis combines infrared sauna, red light and salt therapy, and body rolling to reduce inflammation, accelerate muscle recovery, and help you show up stronger every single class.
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.
At its core, FORM50 is high intensity strength training. Not a cardio class, not a slow-paced reformer class. Every session is built around metabolic intervals that build real muscle, burn fat, and create definition without loading your joints. The afterburn effect lasts up to 36 hours post-class, making 50 minutes in the studio work far longer than 50 minutes.
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.
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.
New to FORM50? Start here, no matter how fit you already are.
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 our signature strength training class. The one Midtown regulars build their week around.
For best results, take class 3-4X per week with 1-2 rest days in between. Recovery is part of the method.
The ones that fit a Manhattan schedule and still deliver. FORM50’s midtown workout classes run exactly 50 minutes door to door: high intensity strength training on the FORMFormer, programmed by a coach, with zero joint impact.
Early class before the office. A lunch slot with showers so you can get back to work fresh. A session before the train home. 135 E 46th St is a short walk from Grand Central, so the hardest part of your workout is not the commute.
Fifteen reformers, one coach watching your form, and the full FORM50 Oasis recovery setup in the same studio. Most fitness classes in Midtown East give you a workout. This one gives your day structure.
Steps away. The flagship sits at 135 E 46th St, New York, NY 10017 - a few minutes on foot from Grand Central, right on the border of Murray Hill and Turtle Bay.
If you work or live anywhere in Midtown Manhattan, this is the studio built around your day: book on the FORM50 app, train for 50 minutes, recover in the Oasis, get on with your evening.
FORM50 Midtown East is the flagship: 15 reformers, showers, infrared sauna, red light therapy, body roller, and compression boots. It’s the full picture: train hard, recover well, leave feeling like a better version of you.
Most Midtown workout classes have a large group setting. FORM50 is a boutique studio where you get personalized attention. High intensity strength training on a reformer. No treadmills, no jumping, no impact. You’re in and out in 50 minutes having done more than most people do in an hour.
Both, and that’s the whole point. FORM50 is high intensity strength training. Not purely cardio, not a slow reformer class.
You’ll hit slow, controlled resistance moves that build real strength through time under tension, then shift into explosive intervals that spike your heart rate and keep your metabolism running hours after you leave. The FORMFormer’s spring resistance adjusts throughout, so every class is as close to functional strength training as you can get without joint impact.
You’re not choosing between cardio and strength. You’re getting both in 50 minutes.
FORM50 Midtown East is the only FORM50 location with the full recovery setup, all part of the FORM50 Oasis:
FORM50 Midtown East is our flagship studio at 135 E 46th St, New York, NY 10017 - a short walk from Grand Central, right between Murray Hill and Turtle Bay. If you’re searching for midtown workout classes that fit a packed Manhattan schedule, this is it: 50 minutes on the FORMFormer reformer, full-body strength plus metabolic intervals, and you’re back at your desk or on your train.
