What’s New
SLT Comes to LIC
BY JENNA BAGCAL
A new, celebrity-approved
workout studio has
come to Long Is-land
City. SLT, which
stands for "Strengthen-Lengthen-
Tone" came to the fast-growing
neighborhood on July 16, at 42-15
Crescent St. The location is the 22nd
studio overall, with locations in New
York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and
Connecticut.
A spokesperson for the studio said
that acclaimed athleisure designer,
Zara Terez, has designed commis-sioned
wallpaper specifically for the
LIC location.
Founder and CEO Amanda Freeman
started SLT in 2011 in order to com-bine
all the things she was looking for
in a workout: results-oriented—stylized
as reSuLTs on the website—challeng-ing,
efficient, effective and fun. The
workout is described as a hybrid of
cardio, strength training and Pilates.

For 50 minutes, participants use a
Megaformer machine, which has been
described as a "Pilates reformer on
steroids", to complete a high-intensity,
low-impact workout. Classes at SLT
consist of slower movements, fast tran-sitions
and constant core-engagement.
The studio offers classes based on
individual fitness levels, ranging from
beginner to more advanced options.
According to SLT, the workout has
transformed the bodies of celebrities
like Sofia Vergara, James Franco, Ali-cia
