What it feels like.
Every strength class is different, but the job is always the same: work every muscle group with a mix of dumbbells, bands, pilates balls and bodyweight. Instructors walk the room through the equipment before class, so you are never guessing what to pick up.
The lights are down and the music is up. You spend the class on a mat, barefoot, moving through full-body work at your own level. If something does not feel right, say so before class and the instructor will offer a modification.
Strength is the anchor of a balanced week at DOSE. It pairs naturally with spin for cardio and yoga for recovery, and the format is open to all levels.
