Most of the classes here are hot yoga, and a good share of the timetable is built around sweat. Hot Pilates, power yoga and Heavy Weights HP add more strength-led options, while the Hot 26 series gives a set sequence across 60, 75 and 90 minute lengths. Core and pelvic floor work appears too, and the Firehouse Fitness class adds a more athletic note.
The studio also runs community classes led by teachers-in-training, including a power yoga session and a Hot Pilates class. These offer an accessible entry point for people trying a new style for the first time.

Facilitators such as Lyuba Ermolov, Mika Bieber, Summer Holladay and Bailey Hill teach many of the classes here. With a couple of dozen facilitators on the team, most people find a regular instructor whose style fits their routine.
