Classes & Training

Inside a session

One system, six elements.

Build, control, use runs through everything we teach. You build your base of strength and flexibility, learn to control and express it through skills and movement, then use it to respond and create. Whatever your base, you practise moving well from where you are today. Classes are built from six elements. See how each class divides its time below.

How we think about training

Build

Where the raw material comes from. Slow to develop, but it runs deep and lasts.

Strength training
Rings, bars and weights, all on clear progressions, so the base under everything you do keeps rising.
Mobility
Stretching, long holds, and exploring positions until they are yours. Strength at the end of your range.

Control

Where what you have built becomes movement you can direct, with attention to spare.

Skill practice
Cartwheels, handstands, rolling, macacos, elbow levers, each at a progression that fits you. You learn to organise what your body can now support.
Locomotion
Animal movement, ground work, natural movement. Strength, range and balance cooperating while you travel, with the perception to adjust as you go.

Use

Where it turns into something you actually reach for.

Movement puzzles & games
A situation instead of an instruction. Where you find out what you reach for without thinking.
Improvisation
No correct answer and no set task. What you have built becomes yours to use, in your own way.

Programming rotates through the year across strength, mobility, and movement skills, so there is always enough variety to stay curious and enough time on each thing to genuinely progress.

Attend any of our classes.

Every movement has progressions, so you work at the level that's right for you today.

Strength + Movement

The core class in our program. Bodyweight strength, calisthenics, locomotion and the skills that take real time to earn: pull-ups, muscle-ups, levers, dips, pistol squats, and the progressions that lead to them. Everyone works at their own level, so a first-timer and a seasoned mover train in the same room, no one left behind or held back.

Best place to begin

Body Prep

Joint preparation, spinal work, movement awareness, and the strength and mobility foundations that make everything else safer and more effective. No one has ever had too strong a base, so brand new movers and long-time members train here side by side. If you are not sure where to begin, begin here.

Mobility & Flexibility

Passive stretching to create range, then long holds, end-range strength and active flexibility to make it yours. We work toward projects like the front and middle splits, the pancake, a comfortable resting squat, open shoulders and a healthy spine. The aim is to be strong where you are open, and to own the range rather than just visit it. For anyone who wants to move freely and feel at home at the edges of what they can do.

Handbalancing

Handbalancing from the ground up. Whether you have never kicked up to a wall or you are chasing a freestanding press, the class meets you where you are and builds the strength, mobility, and awareness to move forward. It turns out to be as much a practice of paying attention as it is of physical strength.

Tue & Fri mornings · by the semester

Morning Small Group PT

Personal training in a small group, two mornings a week before the workday. You get a program built around your own goals and real hands-on attention, with the accountability and good company of training alongside a handful of others.

A standing fixture on the weekly timetable. It runs as a 12 week semester, so it asks for a commitment rather than a single drop-in. 8x and Unlimited members train here on their membership, or you can purchase a morning semester on its own.
