What the classes are
The studio's classes are mostly strength and strong sessions, each taking about a third of the schedule. Mobility and stretch come next, followed by yoga and core and pelvic floor work. Full Body Muscle and Booty and Core Burn are hour-long strength classes, while Cardio, Core and Mobility is a shorter forty-minute option.
Yoga Stretch and Yoga give a slower counterpoint to the strength work and suit people who want to balance their training with mobility.
How the week runs
Classes start as early as 9am and run through the day, with the latest starting at 5:30pm. Midday and morning share the largest portion of the week, and the evening accounts for about a fifth of classes. Weekend classes are a small part of the timetable.
Across the week, Friday, Tuesday and Thursday carry the most classes. Most sessions run for an hour, which makes it easy to fit a practice into a lunch break or before the working day.
