Every Built Tough class begins with a thorough warm-up, where we warm up the muscles and review the movement patterns we’re about to use in our workout.
The majority of the class is spent completing 1-2 workouts that combine strength & conditioning, functional movement, and endurance elements in various ways. All movements can be completed with or without weights, and coaches and will modify any movement for your ability, injuries, or just what you do and don’t feel like doing on any given day 😆
Often times, we finish class with some assistance work to hit shoulders, hips, core, or other muscles that don’t otherwise get a lot of love ✌️

Built Tough was founded in the height of the COVID pandemic — when gyms closed and NYC essentially shut down, we wanted to do something to bring the Upper East Side community together to work out, see people, and help each other stay positive.
What started as a single, free, socially distant fitness event in June 2020 slowly grew into the full schedule we have today.
We thank our community for supporting us and each other!
