Heat is the setting. Your movement is the point.
The heated room has a target temperature of 100°F. That's a target, not a guarantee or a promise about how your body will respond. Listen to your instructor, take breaks as needed and bring water. You can choose a lower-intensity option at any time.
Our founder-designed Chelsea studio is built for a strong visual atmosphere and an inclusive, social room. People of every gender and experience level are welcome. If you're new to heated movement or unsure whether it's right for you, speak with your healthcare professional before participating.
