Bala opens first-ever store in NYC
While you’re in Soho, be sure to stop by the brand new Bala store. For those unfamiliar, Bala is a company started in 2018 by a husband and wife duo who questioned why ubiquitous hand and ankle weights were all so clunky and boring. Enter: their design-led, aesthetically-pleasing Bala Bangles, which instantly captured the attention of fitness enthusiasts and novices alike. Now, they’ve opened a Soho pop-up store to showcase their growing product range which includes weighted beams, sleek iterations on the dumbbell, and more. Located at 99 Spring Street, the 1,825 square foot space, which was designed by Madelynn Ringo of Ringo Studio, will allow fans and new clients to get up close with the range of equipment, as well as discover exclusive merch. The boutique is open tomorrow through September 30—so there’s no time like the present to revisit those New Year’s fitness resolutions!
