How the week is shaped
Built Body Fitness has a compact timetable of a couple of dozen classes, led by a small team. Most sessions begin before 9am, with starts as early as 5am and a cluster around 6am and 6:15am. The day is organized around these early hours, so the studio suits people who prefer to move before work.
The evenings offer a second window. Classes around 5:30pm and 6:25pm give those who cannot make the morning a way to practice after the day ends. Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday carry the most classes.
What the classes are
Every class listed is a BUILT session, lasting 45 minutes. The format keeps each visit contained, which makes it easy to fit a practice into a tight morning or a full evening.
Chris Varnava and Thiary Rodriguez lead most of the classes here. Their sessions form the core of the studio's timetable, giving the schedule a consistent character across its early and evening starts.
