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
