Consider yourself a part of this world
and looking for someplace to connect
with others in your field? Joy and her
staff offer Friday, Saturday and Sunday
night open workout “jam times” where
practitioners from different disciplines
including dance, yoga and acrobatics
can mix and mingle, share their skills
and have fun together in an atmosphere
lit up by club lights and special projec-tion
effects.
As longtime residents of Kew Gar-dens
and Rego Park respectively, Joy
Chen and her business partner, Phil,
were interested in locating their first
studio in Long Island City because they
felt the vibe of the neighborhood fit their
forward-thinking studio.
“So far the local community has been
great,” Chen said. “We had a table at
the LIC Springs block party on Vernon
Boulevard a few weeks ago and we had
tons of people visiting our table, smiling
and getting a taste of the acroyoga
classes we offer.”
The business partners saw LIC as
being the area where great new things
are brewing in terms of industry, real
estate development, arts and culture—
perfect for their “futuristic” and “cosmic”
themed studio.
“Our studio is located in a building
that also houses artists and musicians
and a recording studio,” Chen said. “Ev-eryone
in the community is excited we
fixed up a former warehouse space and
re-activated and re-purposed the space
into something that promotes health and
wellness and positivity.”
They also chose Queens because
they both consider this community home,
and they saw an opportunity to create
something special and unique in the most
ethnically diverse borough in the city.
While there are numerous fitness
options in western Queens, the staff at
Cosmic Fit Club say this business is like
no other, with multi-disciplinary sport,
art and programing all under one roof.
“This is where Cosmic Fit Club comes
in,” Chen said. “We hope to bring the
community together and help define
‘the future of fitness’ together in LIC,
NYC and the region.”
