Triathletes or those interested in triathlon training and access to the most advanced sports facilities in New York City now have the unique opportunity to live in a building that meets the needs of their athletic lifestyle.
Located at 400 East 67th Street, The Laurel’s state of the art Triathlon Training Centre is available exclusively for residents at the luxury condominium building. Residents can challenge themselves on an uninterrupted running, swimming and biking circuit.
In addition to a custom designed resistance pool with adjustable current levels, the centre offers the most up to date training equipment including Woodway ‘The Force’ treadmills, which have a magnetic brake that provides resistance; CycleOps pro indoor cycles that reproduce the fit of a road bike; and SCIFIT ergo-meters designed for ultimate cardio and strength training.
Professional trainer Anthony Bagnetto of Iowa Sports Management is one of two skilled trainers available to work privately with residents at The Laurel. Bagnetto, a triathlete since 2006 said triathletes couldn’t find a better place in New York City to call home.
"There is a strong triathlete population here in New York City, so it’s fantastic that there is a residential building available that caters to their sport," Bagnetto said. "I first heard about The Laurel and its Triathlon Training Centre long before it opened. As a triathlete, I was so impressed with the concept. Everything in it is all top of the line."
The Triathlon Training Centre is part of the Laurel’s Trophy Club, an 8,000 sq ft bi-level fitness and spa-like facility. Other offerings at the private amenity space on the Upper East Side of Manhattan include a 50-foot infinity edge lap pool with a glass mosaic tile interior and a botticino marble deck; a fitness centre with state of the art apparatus including Life Fitness cardiovascular training equipment; free weights; custom designed Atlantis strength equipment; a steam room; and a sauna.
The Trophy Club was designed by prominent New York fitness specialist John Sitaras and is run by Iowa Sports Management. "The Trophy Club is the most cutting-edge fitness centre available today and only The Laurel can offer it exclusively to our residents," added Joanie Schumacher, Director of Sales for The Laurel.
