--- Spinning is the best way to increase energy consumption and increase heart rate. In addition, it is very suitable for burning calories, so it can reduce weight. Dopamine and serotonin are released during a spin session, helping you to feel happier, less stressed and more motivated for your day. Spinning is an incredible way to boost mood, overall energy levels and deepen your sleep, helping you to show up more powerfully in all aspects of your life. Expert research shows that 50 minutes of spinning is enough to burn up to 700 types of fat and calories.

"We Outside!" Culver City Stairs Group Workout
Baldwin Hills Scenic Overlook, 6300 Hetzler Road, Culver City, CA, USOn Friday's, we take on the iconic Culver City Stairs for an intense, full-body stair-climbing session that pushes every muscle, boosts cardiovascular health, and strengthens our group’s bond through shared grit and determination.
***
-- Incorporating stair climbing into your fitness routine can contribute to improved physical fitness, strength, and overall well-being. A stairs workout offers several benefits for physical fitness and overall health:
• CARDIOVASCULAR HEALTH: Climbing stairs is an excellent aerobic exercise that gets your heart rate up, improving cardiovascular health, increasing stamina, and boosting overall endurance.
• Leg strength: Stair climbing engages various muscle groups in the legs, including the quadriceps, hamstrings, calves, and glutes. Over time, this can lead to improved leg strength, muscle tone, and endurance.
• CALORIE BURNING: Stair climbing is a calorie-intensive exercise that can help with weight management and fat loss. It burns more calories per minute than many other forms of aerobic exercise, making it an efficient way to burn energy.
• LOW IMPACT: Unlike activities like running or jumping, stair climbing is low impact, which means it puts less stress on the joints. This makes it a suitable workout option for individuals with joint pain or those recovering from injuries.
• CONVENIENCE: Stairs are often readily available in various settings, such as homes, office buildings, parks, or public spaces. This makes stair climbing a convenient workout option that can be easily incorporated into daily routines.
• IMPROVED BALANCE AND COORDINATION: Negotiating stairs requires coordination and balance, which can improve with regular stair climbing workouts. This can be particularly beneficial for older adults in reducing the risk of falls and maintaining mobility.
• MENTAL HEALTH BENEFITS: Exercise, including stair climbing, has been shown to release endorphins, which can improve mood and reduce stress and anxiety levels. Additionally, the sense of accomplishment from completing a challenging stair workout can boost self-esteem and confidence.

"We Outside!" Santa Monica Beach Group Workout (4th Saturday)
Santa Monica Ocean Avenue, 1055 Ocean Ave, Santa Monica, CA, USOur weekly group workouts at the beach are a dynamic blend of high-energy circuit training designed to sculpt your body and ignite your spirit, perfect for our vibrant Los Angeles community.

We do "bodyweight" training for our circuits. We string together exercises that target different muscle groups using your own body as resistance, like push-ups (chest, shoulders), squats (legs), planks (core), burpees (full body), and mountain climbers (cardio). Our typical circuit might be 5-8 moves, each for 30-60 seconds, with 15-30 seconds rest between, repeated for 2-3 rounds.
