uxury Manhattan apartments are taking wellness to new heights, literally. Gone are the days of standard gyms and spas; today's high-end developments offer in-home IV drips, Botox injections, and even floating meditation sessions 500 feet above street level.

    The wealthiest residents don't want just any gym membership – they crave in-house biohacking. FitLore, a high-tech residential wellness company, caters to these demands with services like at-home IV cocktails and medical consultations. Their clients include those living in Central Park Tower, where units range from $8 million to $60 million.

    The industry's wellness arms race accelerated during the pandemic, as health anxiety met confinement. Apartment dwellers became increasingly interested in optimizing their lifestyles for physical and mental wellbeing. Wellness quickly became a vital necessity, with high-end medical services and free bodywork sessions becoming a major selling point for deep-pocketed locals.

    For the ultra-wealthy, exclusivity and privacy are key. Residents at Central Park Tower can order on-demand nurses to administer Botox or Ozempic shots through FitLore's app. The company boasts a network of medical professionals who can provide services like Vitamin B-12 shots, Myers' cocktails, and even flu shots.

    Beyond Billionaires' Row, there's a growing market for extravagant wellness services throughout the city. Eastern medical treatments like Reiki and acupuncture are popular among younger residents at One Manhattan Square. An entire industry has arisen to cater to these trends, with luxury buildings functioning more like private medical spas than condominiums.

    Even pets aren't left out – holistic pet wellness services have taken off in the wellness community, including lymphatic drainage and sound healing. Luxury developments like Monogram New York offer pre-arranged pet acupuncture appointments, while One Wall Street hosts on-site dog Reiki sessions that draw around 30 attendees.

    The demand for wellness-focused activities is high, with residents clamoring for more sound baths and meditation sessions. At One Wall Street, the pool has become a hotspot for these events, with residents floating across the water on air mattresses to the sounds of singing bowls. The "Sunset Sound Bath" event was a huge success, with 15 residents meditating together in a "very cozy" atmosphere.
