during the pandemic, trainers Ky DiGregorio and
Leigh Barton opened NuSweat, a fitness studio that operates both online and onstage at the Greenpoint metal bar Saint Vitus. Its classes (from $10), which range from Pilates flows to more demanding HIITcentric workouts, are known for their soundtracks: Sessions are set to music by Lana Del Rey, Britney Spears, and the various acts associated with Drag Race. “It’s very millennial,” says regular Gianna Santelli. “The class will just be, like, a full album, so a 45-minute class set to an entire Fall Out Boy album or the soundtrack to Can’t Hardly
Wait.” The instructors, Santelli adds, are unusually hands-on—even during Zoom sessions, they shout out individual modifications to students to ensure everyone gets the most out of each class.
