The Early panther
Panther People like to get started early, even on the weekends, but not too early. Panther now starts at 8am on Saturdays.
Panther people have spoken.
We’re moving Saturday’s Panther HIIT class to 8am.
Body heat
Classes started strong this year, so we added a second Mat Pilates class to Saturday at 10am.
Class attendance leapt forward over the winter. In a blink we went from two classes on Saturday, to adding, and filling a third. The energy that came with it caused the furnace to switch off and blotted out the windows with steam.
Body heat froze to the windows from floor to ceiling and diffused the New Year’s morning light into a pearlescent glow.
At the same time, on the first of the year, we started stamping names and X’s into brass tags and nailing them to the wall, our take on a rewards program. Buying something is easy, showing up over and over again is hard. You’re body keeps score but now so do we, and we want to give you something tangible to show for it.
Thanks for your energy, effort, and dedication.
Here are a few photos from the start of the year.
The dangerous benefits of our new class, Panther HIIT.
We have a new bodyweight class, we call it Panther.
A beautiful dangerous
It feels good to be dangerous. Not broken bottle in a melee dangerous. Dangerous like a wave that knows it can carve the world from stone. Frequent our new Panther HIIT class and you’ll be dangerous like that.
You’re the epicenter. Like our Mat Pilates class, no bits, bobs, gadgets, gizmos, or equipment of any kind are used in the Panther class. Our classes are designed to be potent, useful, and easy to recreate outside of the Dojo. As long as you have yourself, the ground, and gravity you can apply what you learn in class wherever you are to get an exceptional full body workout that actually makes your body work better.
No, this isn’t a class centered around Burpees. We’ve designed a highly effective bodyweight class without using high impact movements. The techniques we use are rooted in science, draw on the best, current, sources of biomechanics knowledge available, and are used by Navy Seals, pro athletes, and grandmas in their 70s who need and want their bodies to work as good as possible for as long as possible.
