The partnership

Women's Wellness, powered by Alana Life & Fitness

Alana Life & Fitness is a women-only health club in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn, running since 2014. They bring the coaching and the programming for NEXGEN Women's Wellness; NEXGEN provides the room, the membership, the booking and the community.

What NEXGEN brings

The room, the membership, the booking, the front desk, the schedule and the people already here. One account for the whole household.

What Alana Life & Fitness brings

The coaching and the programming. We did not invent their method and we are not going to describe it as ours.

These are Alana Life & Fitness’s own published facts about their club, not results from NEXGEN sessions. When NEXGEN has its own, we will put those here instead.

The thinking behind it

A gym membership you cannot actually use is not a gym membership.

The usual advice: just join somewhere, just go in the morning, just wear what you want, assumes the only obstacle is motivation. For a lot of people here it is not. It is a mixed floor, a shared changing room, and a hundred small negotiations before the first rep.

So the workaround becomes a home workout that happens twice, or a membership that quietly renews and never gets used. Neither of those is a discipline problem.

Take the room out of the equation and most people turn out to have wanted to train all along. That is the entire thesis, and it is why the first question this page asks is who you are rather than what you want to do.

One household

Everyone in the house, without everyone in the same room.

A standalone gym solves one person’s problem at a time. NEXGEN already runs children’s programming in the same building on the same evenings, which means the most common reason a parent gives for not booking: "I have the kids", is a scheduling question rather than a refusal.

Where two sessions genuinely overlap, the booking page for one will tell you about the other, with its age band and its remaining places. We will not describe that as childcare, because it is not: it is a separate program with its own coach, its own register and its own age rules.

One NEXGEN account covers all of it: the same login, the same schedule, the same membership. See what membership changes.

How it works

Four steps, and the last one is the only hard part.

  1. 1Pick

    Pick the room, not the workout.

    Women, men or kids first, that is the decision that actually matters here. What happens inside the hour is the coach’s job, not yours to research.

  2. 2Book

    See the price you will pay before you commit.

    Your plan is applied on the page, not discovered at the till. No account is needed to look, and a free one is enough to book.

  3. 3Come

    Turn up ten minutes early, once.

    You are shown the room, asked about anything the coach should work around, and put with the group. Nothing is demonstrated at you in front of everybody.

  4. 4Keep going

    The repeat is the whole method.

    A fixed slot, a coach who learns your name, and other people who notice you were not there last week. Change the slot whenever it stops fitting — there is no contract to renegotiate.

Straight answers

We run classes. We are not selling you a transformation.

There are no before-and-after photographs on this page and there will not be. We are not going to tell you what this will do for your weight, your health markers or your mental health, because we do not know and it would not be ours to promise.

Coaches are coaches. Tell them about an injury and they will work around it; they will not treat it. Nothing here is physiotherapy, rehabilitation, medical nutrition or mental health care unless a qualified provider is explicitly delivering that service and says so on the page.

What we can say precisely: a fixed slot, a coach who knows your name, a room you do not have to steel yourself to walk into, and other people who noticed you were not there last week.

Before you book

The practical questions.

No. Membership changes the price, it does not gate the door. You can book a single class on a free NEXGEN account and never join anything.

$40 a class. No joining fee, no contract, no minimum number of sessions. On Women's Fitness, Family pays $30 and Family+ pays $20. Personalised services are priced per session and we will tell you the number before you start, not after.

Yes: separate sessions with same-gender coaching, not a shared floor with a partition. That is the point of the whole product, so it is not something that quietly gets relaxed on a busy week.

Women's and Men's Wellness sessions are 18 and over. Kids & Teens Wellness is being built for ages 10–17, banded by stage rather than run as one class.

It is the most common starting point here. Sessions are coached rather than filmed, so someone scales the work to you in the room. Nobody is watching the person at the back.

Cancel more than 12 hours ahead and the seat is released with no charge. Inside 12 hours the seat is held for you and counts as used, because someone on the waitlist could have taken it.

Water, Trainers. Clothes you can move in. That is genuinely it.

Tell the coach before the session and they will adapt it. They are not medically qualified and will not tell you otherwise: if something needs a clinician, see one.

Alana Life & Fitness is the operating partner for Women's Wellness, and every class of theirs that runs here is approved one at a time rather than imported wholesale from their own timetable. If a session is theirs, the card says so.

Ask. Wellness is eligible for the NEXGEN Access Fund, the conversation stays between you and us, and nothing about it is visible at the front desk.

Only if there is a NEXGEN program running at the same time that they are old enough to join: in which case the booking page will tell you, with the age band and the places left. It is a separate program with its own coach and register, not childcare, and we are not going to call it childcare.

Come once and see how the room feels.

That is the part you cannot judge from a page. An hour, and no obligation to come back.
