Even though the Hamptons is one of the most indulgent summer escapes from New York City's fast paced rat race, it certainly doesn't have to be an escape from your fast paced workouts! Sure, the Hamptons is filled with shopping, sunning, eating, and drinking, but there are plenty of equally indulgent fitness classes to give balance to your summer vacation. Here are just a few of our favorites that will keep you moving and sweating - in between all of those other indulgences, of course.
