Exercise equipment is one of those things we tend to accumulate and not use a lot (the Treadmill Coat Rack, for example). However, in times like these, the infamous Portland Snow Days, or times when you just can’t make it to the studio, having some basic equipment can be really helpful.

You’ve likely heard it’s important to warm up before a workout—and it is—but why? What exactly should your warm up look like? How long should a warm up last? What are the best movements to do? Should you run, sweat, get your heart rate up? Should you walk, stretch, or work on joint mobility? […]
You step in the gym and are confronted with a myriad of weights, bells, bands, straps, bars, balls, and all sorts of machines that may double as torture contraptions. […]
With winter in full swing many will ask “should I exercise while sick?” […]
It’s true that no detail is too small for us when it comes to member and trainer comfort at the studio. In our member survey last fall, one of the requests was for a more “full service” shower option that included shampoo and conditioner. We were happy to oblige, and hope you are enjoying the upgraded experience! […]
