In early 2016, the fitness studios that you already know about are multiplying. The latest to join this list? Ballet Beautiful, which is currently hosting private classes at its new Upper East Side location before opening to the public in the next couple of months, according to Well + Good. Well, sort of public: "In early 2016 the studio will start to offer exclusive group classes for five to six people," the wellness site writes.

The highly Instagrammable workout devised by former ballerina Mary Helen Bowers has gained quite the following (and some celebrity clientele) for its promise to whip you into shape in the most graceful way possible. This studio — a followup to the one in Soho — has a plush location between Fifth and Madison Avenues and boasts a retail section for Bowers' activewear line.

Ballet Beautiful is joining a long line of fitness brands opening their second (or third, or fourth, or so on) location next year, including but not limited to: ((305)) Fitness, SLT, Barry's Bootcamp, and Flywheel Sports.
