As longtime residents of Kew Gardens 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. “Everyone 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 sports, arts 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.” BORO readers can bring in their copy of the magazine when they visit the studio for a free class between now and July 1. All pricing for monthly unlimited and annual memberships, class packages and personal training sessions are included on the website, cosmicfitclub.com, and can be purchased online or in person at the studio.
