In the Zone
NYC's star instructors set up shop in East Hampton for the summer

In one of life's funny role-reversals, Marion Roamon went from serving people food to making them sweat it off. In the mid-nineties, while she was in the restaurant business in Boulder, Colorado, Roamon, a French culinary-school graduate and an amateur cyclist, discovered spinning at her local gym. "I got totally hooked," she says. "I'd go three times a day, I loved it so much."

After moving back to New York in 1998, she and a few pals opened Zonehampton, a first-class spin studio above Calypso, on Newtown Lane. The place became so popular that in 2004, when her son was born, she split from her partners and moved to a larger location near the East Hampton bowling alley, on Montauk Highway. She added a boutique in which she sells trendy men's and women's clothing by James Perse, Stella McCartney, and Adidas. This month, Roamon will take Zonehampton to the next level, as they say in fitness circles, when she opens a 2000-square-foot basement studio that will offer a feast of group fitness selections. She's invited several of Manattan's famed exercise gurus, who regularly train at Manhattan's top-flight gyms (Equinox, L.A. Sports Club, Peak Performance, and Reebok Gym), to christen the space.

"No drama," is Roamon's motto: "I just want Zonehampton to be the all-round best of the best." Let us introduce her butt-whooping team.
