This past Saturday, we ran our first Open House of the year!

Our Open Houses are a really fun way to connect with those in our community, create an inclusive fitness space and introduce new faces to what Brazen is all about!

We got to meet the friends and family members of our current Brazen athletes, make new friends by doing an awesome partner workout of barbell Thrusters, Toes to Bar, and calories on the bike, and chat over coffee and a snack.

Here's a looks at all of the wonderful moments we caught!

A partner workout calls for a partner warmup! After Coach Tyler briefed the athletes on the workout, we went into a warmup of biking and air squats and partner assisted leg drops.

Our warmups always prime you for exactly what will be in the workout! Air squats to get the body ready for Thrusters, biking to feel out the assault bike before we hit it for cals during the workout, and leg drops to activate the core/midline and hamstrings, which mimics Toes to Bar.

After the warmup, comes movement prep! This is where we go through different drills to practice the technique and proper form of all the exercises included in the day’s workout. We also go through scaling options (modifications) here, so everyone in class can find the right variation of each movement for them!

Once we prepped, athletes loaded their barbells and were off!
