# Rhythm-Based Boutique Fitness Studios Rostudios Announces Investment and New Facility in NY By Kalin Ned | Published 2026-05-18 | Marketing Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rostudios References: [insider.fitt.co](https://insider.fitt.co/press-release/rostudios-raises-40m-enters-nyc-with-25-reformer-cycling-classes/)  Rostudios, the Amsterdam-based operator behind Rocycle rhythm-based indoor cycling and Roform [reformer Pilates-inspired training](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/les-mills-reformer), has raised over $40 USD in growth capital and will open its first United States studio at 799 Broadway in Greenwich Village this June. The space is a 9,000 square foot site that houses two [Roform reformer studios](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/studio-pilates) and one Rocycle cycling studio, with drop-in pricing starting at $20 USD per class, which is significantly below typical [boutique fitness pricing](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rumble-boxing) in New York City. All in all, Rostudios is offering a high-quality studio experience, with full changing facilities, towels, cycling shoes, and premium care products from Zenology. The $20 USD price point per class may also make its offerings more accessible to a new demographic — young professionals, graduate students or individuals on a budget. The location in Greenwich Village is also easily accessible by subway from most parts of Manhattan and Brooklyn.
