Fitness guru Sydney Miller, who built a strong online following during the pandemic, recently entered the brick-and-mortar game, opening Housework studio in Flatiron in New York City.
The workout blends low-impact Pilates-based exercises with high-intensity cardio and strength training, choreographed to the beat of the music. In fact, the studio’s name is inspired by Miller’s love of house music and it just launched a once-monthly Housework viral Live DJ Series.
“I didn’t always know I wanted a brick-and-mortar space, but by early 2024, my in-person events were giving me and the Housework community so much life that I felt called to create something more permanent,” says Miller. “One day, I was walking through Flatiron, reflecting on where it all began, when I noticed leasing signs going up on the very building where I had spent years teaching. It felt like fate. At the same time, I saw so many of my peers in the industry taking the leap, and I thought — why not me? Why not now? I can do this!”
The studio offers a full schedule of classes, seven days a week, with multiple instructors. “Until now, I’ve been a one-woman show, which is tough since I can only teach so much. I’m beyond excited to have an incredible team of women joining us who will bring even more variety to the Housework community,” adds Miller.
It is also gearing up to head out east this summer with pop-ups at Posthouse, Gurney’s (Fourth of July weekend), and Montauk Yacht Club.
