Friends by your side. A warm, cozy place. Looking out at the snow.

Movement isn’t just something you do — it’s what brings you joy, keeps you grounded, and reminds you how good this life can feel. ❄️🤍

Alex’s Kettlebell Workshop yesterday was a HUGE success.

Strength training 2–3 days a week isn’t a trend — it’s been the gold standard for years 💪🏾

Why? Because it builds muscle, protects your joints, boosts metabolism, and helps you feel strong for life — not just for today.

And kettlebells? They’re one of our favorites.
✔️ Train multiple muscles at once
✔️ Improve coordination and power
✔️ Scalable for every level — beginner to advanced

That’s why you’ll see them woven into our weekly strength training.
Strong today. Strong long-term.

Shoutout to Max 👏
Proof that being an awesome intern isn’t just about showing up—it’s about getting it.

Max understands the assignment: every trainer has her own vibe, and the music should match the mood 🎶💥 Whether it’s high-energy, chill, or somewhere in between, he knows the playlist matters. What gets are trainers motivated during a workout?

Here’s to Kaheem 👟
Not just a great coach because he knows his stuff (he really does)…
but because he makes you want to show up 😄

His sessions = good vibes, smart training, lots of laughs, and that feeling when you leave like
“Yep… I needed that.” 🔥
