Pride Month, Juneteenth, Community and Father's Day! June is PRIDE Month, a dedication and celebration of LGBTQIA+ rights and progress. It commemorates the Stonewall Uprising of June 1969 when LGBTQIA+ protesters stood up against police brutality and injustice. Stonewall is considered an important breaking point in a culmination of years of LGBTQIA+ activism. The first Pride marches were held in New York, Los Angeles, and Chicago on the one year anniversary of the riots.

Don’t Baby Your Back

Don’t baby your back! The cries of “I feel it in my back” or  “my back is sore!” can sometimes be heard around The Studio. And unless there is a sharp, sudden pain, or one that lingers for a long time - we say…that’s okay! Your back muscles, just like any other muscle group will get sore if you use them, especially if they’re weak. Sometimes we leave class and feel it in our abs or feel it in our shoulders, but it doesn’t seem to elicit the same response as when we feel it in our backs.  It’s been [...]

Our Annual Staff Training on January 4th focused on Antiracism led by Dr. Monea.

🌟LIFTing into the New Year🌟 You need to lift weights! Full stop. Skeletal muscle is the organ of longevity. (Don't believe us? Check out this podcast with Dr. Gabrielle Lyon and Erin Holt). Loss of muscle mass, strength and function starts at age 30 at a rate of 3-8% per decade and increases after the age of 60. How can we slow that roll? Resistance training for strength (ie lifting heavy) and adding in short, intense bursts of activity (ie Inferno Hiit) are effective. Let's face it, your athletic performance and independence in advanced age are dependent on [...]

Making Sure We Fuel Our Bodies This month it's all about FUEL. Your body performs best when it is properly fueled. Are you showing up for class ready to go? Making sure you’re well-fueled and hydrated, particularly in the summer heat, takes some intentional effort. More sweat out means more liquids in, adding in electrolytes (LMNT is the perfect on-the-go option!), and protein (grab an Apres from the cooler!) as you can. Properly fueling, also includes rest. That’s right, rest. In order for your body to perform optimally, it needs time to recover and repair. It also means [...]
