You Don't  Need

A fitness background, industry expertise, or to be involved in the day-to-day operations.

You Do Need

Operational discipline, ability to lead and develop people, and commitment to protecting the brand.

What We Saw in the Market
Great ideas, none truly scalable.

The Inspiration

In a 2018 fitness class led by Mark Wahlberg, Aaron saw what exceptional energy and connection could do. 

"It was powerful, but nearly impossible to reproduce consistently at scale. This planted a seed."

What Was Missing

 What Was Missing

Group fitness was stalled. Energy, connection and innovation were missing. 

"Not another fad fitness class. A repeatable workout that teaches the most fundamental movements: HIIT, Cardio, and Strength all in one studio."

The Result

The most loved parts of top boutique fitness combined: community, coaching, music, momentum.

"Energy that never dips. Class flow without dead time. Consistency at scale. 1:1 trainer guidance."
