On the floor next

    Effort you can
    see building.

    The gauge on the left is not decoration. It reads the floor right now, off the same schedule feed as the ticker above, and it climbs as you go down this page. Nothing on the board opens until the gauge reaches it.

    The board

    Four classes, four points on the gauge

    Every class sits at the intensity it actually runs at. Keep going and the gauge passes each one in turn, in the order a real week of training would put them.

    Warm up · gauge 22

    Reset 30

    30 min · Coach Renn Alvaro · Studio B

    Mobility, breathing, and one honest set of everything you are about to load. This is the class people skip, then wonder why the next one hurts.

    05:45 Mon, Wed, Fri 9 spots Reserve

    Build · gauge 45

    Load 45

    45 min · Coach Dara Okonkwo · Studio A

    Barbell work on a five week wave. You come back to the same four lifts every week and you add weight. That is the whole method, and it is most of the timetable.

    06:15 Tue, Thu 3 spots Reserve

    Threshold · gauge 68

    Heat 45

    45 min · Coach Dara Okonkwo · Studio A

    Intervals held right at the line where you can still talk, in three word sentences. Eight rounds, one coach counting them out loud, no screen telling you to smile.

    18:30 Mon to Thu Waitlist only Full

    Afterburn · gauge 88

    Redline 20

    20 min · Coach Mika Solberg · The pit

    Twenty minutes with nowhere to hide, capped at eight people so the coach can call you by name. Take it after Load, never before, and never twice in the same week.

    19:30 Wed, Sat 2 spots Reserve

    Reading the gauge

    Four zones, one number

    The number is a percentage of the hardest thing we program. Same scale on the studio wall, on the board above, and on every row of the schedule.

    0 to 24

    Warm up

    You can hold a full conversation. Joints moving, nothing loaded yet.

    25 to 49

    Build

    Working sets. Sentences get shorter. This is where most of your week should live.

    50 to 74

    Threshold

    Three words at a time. Held on purpose, in intervals, not for a whole class.

    75 to 100

    Afterburn

    No talking. Capped at twenty minutes and twice a week, by program, not by preference.
