SLT E 87 Introduce
Welcome to SLT E 87, a premier fitness center on the Upper East Side of New York City that offers a workout experience unlike any other. SLT, which stands for "Strengthen, Lengthen, and Tone," is a revolutionary fitness method that combines the most effective elements of Pilates, strength training, and cardio into one intense, 50-minute class. The magic happens on the Megaformer, a state-of-the-art machine that uses a system of springs and pulleys to provide counter-resistance, allowing you to work your muscles to fatigue in a slow and controlled manner. This unique approach is designed to activate your slow-twitch muscle fibers, leading to a long, lean, and toned physique. Whether you’re a total Pilates newbie or a seasoned fitness enthusiast, SLT offers a challenging yet accessible workout that is designed to deliver visible results. We believe in providing an empowering environment where every person can challenge their physical and mental limits while feeling completely supported. Our studio is known for its friendly staff, charismatic instructors, and a sense of community that makes every visit a positive experience.

SLT E 87 Reviews
I took my first SLT class today with the instructor Garrett. I was kind of nervous because other classes I’ve taken on mega-reformers have been too hard for me even though I consider myself moderately fit. The class ended up being great! The studio is cute and the front desk staff was super friendly. The class itself was challenging but not too hard to where it’s discouraging, and Garrett has tons of charisma and always offered modifications for those who needed them. I would come back and take his class again!
October 26 · T HI am a newbie to Pilates and love it so much. I started over the summer and am already seeing results with my body. It’s also been great for me mentally. I love how the instructors each have their own style and how they give personal attention to everyone even in a group setting. I appreciate when they provide feedback and their positive words of encouragement throughout the 50 minutes. I leave feeling great!
September 11 · Jessica WeissEffective and efficient workout. Garrett is a very motivating instructor and fun too!
March 27 · James PreimesbergerI love this studio. As an avid fitness junkie, I've traveled the city for the best studios. SLT has always been a staple in my routine and I was so excited when they opened this location in my hood. The studio itself is one of my favorite locations as it's very cozy and personal. They must clean this place constantly because it's always in stellar condition - machines are super clean and never a broken machine. The front desk staff is great, greet you when you walk in, learn your name. Rachel B is the best!!!! The workout is hard but stick with it after your first time, it gets way better.
June 25 · Benjamin GoldsmithI have a love-hate relationship with the Megaformer. I love to hate it and I keep coming back because it’s so effective. The E. 87th SLT studio is staffed with excellent trainers who are simultaneously intense, fun, and witty. They beat you down with a huge smile... Annalee and Adam are my favorites.
