UPPER EAST SIDE — Barry's Bootcamp, a gym that specializes in intense hour-long workouts, is opening an outpost on East 64th Street inside a former movie theater.
The 5,000-square-foot space, which used to host a United Artists theater, will feature 25 treadmills and 25 benches, a "fuel bar" for smoothies and juices, a Barry's Bootcamp store and locker rooms, according to company spokeswoman Jessica Geiger.
The gym will open this fall on the second floor of RFR Realty's newly converted 27-story luxury condo building at 300 E 64th St. The gym will be able to accomodate 50 people at a time, Geiger said.
Barry's Bootcamp leads gym buffs in a half-hour of treadmill routines and a half-hour of strength training, using free weights, resistance bands and medicine balls.
Barry Jay Stitch founded the gym in Los Angeles in 1998 and now has has locations around the world, from California and the Hamptons to Norway, as well as several locations in Chelsea, NoHo and TriBeCa.
"Barry’s Bootcamp is a 'downtown workout concept, but the brand’s vast New York City clientele have been clamoring for an uptown studio," Geiger said. "The corporate team found the area to be the perfect setting for a fourth Manhattan outpost, in an already very fitness-oriented neighborhood."
