Vaccinated Only Facility 9/20/2021

August 24, 2021 by mint-sk

Dear loyal MINT member,

As the pandemic continues to change, the safety of our staff and members is our priority. With every new development and government-mandated guideline, we continue to build upon and maintain our already-recognized MINT high standards of health, safety, and cleanliness. 

To continue to prioritize the staff and members’ health and safety, we have decided to become a “Vaccinated Only Facility” as of September 20, 2021. 

We did not come to this decision lightly. Many businesses in the DC area and nationally have made this decision as a way to offer the highest  levels of safety to their communities. As a team, we see this as the best path to keep our staff, members, and surrounding communities as safe as possible in a continuously changing world.

For those who have not yet submitted proof: Take a photo of your vaccination card and upload it to our Health and Safety Form. We must have a record of your vaccination by 9/20/2021 in order for you to enter the gym. We’ve linked the form here. 

At this time, the indoor mask mandate remains in place for the city of DC as implemented by Mayor Bowser on 7/31/2021.  I am actively working with the Mayor’s office to reconsider this mandate, to instead allow any vaccinated-required facility to allow mask-free participation.  If you agree with our view, we encourage you to share your feelings with Deputy Mayor Falcicchio, John at john.falcicchio@dc.gov.

For members who require medical and/or religious accommodations please email our General Manager, Bresni Maldonado at Bresni@mintdc.com. 

We thank you for your continued loyalty and support as we navigate these unprecedented times. If you have any thoughts or feedback, please don’t hesitate to reply directly to this email and someone from our MINT staff will be in touch. 

Thank you, 

Patrick John
MINT co-founder and co-owner

Get to know MINT Cycle instructor Erin Reagan!

August 22, 2021 by mint-sk

Erin is a lifelong athlete that grew up playing team sports, and then got into fitness classes. After years of attending fitness classes in both DC and Philadelphia, she decided to challenge herself and get her cycling certification through the Spinning® program by Madd Dogg Athletics. She now harnesses her years of athletic experiences to lead enjoyable and innovative classes at MINT.

Erin teaches Rhythm Ride MINT Cycle classes, which are beat-based rides with on-bike choreography and upper bodywork. They are a combination of dancing on the bike, heavy climbs and quick sprints. The music and playlist play a big role in each class — there’s nothing better than a great beat drop that leads into a full-out sprint! Each class is designed to be 50 minutes of fun AND a great full-body workout guaranteed to work your arms and abs in addition to lots of cardio.

She prides herself on offering an open space for all, whether it’s your first spin class or 100th. She aims to mirror MINT’s welcoming environment in every class she teaches and really enjoys making connections with the people that attend her class.

Outside of MINT, she loves to run and bike throughout DC – her favorite trail is the Capital Crescent Trail. She also enjoys acai bowls at South Block, taking Barre classes, and exploring new restaurants and wine bars with friends.

You can take Erin’s Rhythm Ride class Wednesdays at 5:30pm. Sign up for MINT Cycle classes here.

MINT Cycle classes have something for everyone and are fully scalable to meet you where you are in your fitness journey, and whether you’ve never set foot on a spin bike before or use one regularly. No matter which instructor or class you take, there will always be options offered and you are in total control of your effort. 

Cycling is a great low-impact option but is also conducive to pretty much any kind of workout you may be seeking. You can use the monitors and data from the bike to measure progress and ensure a tough workout, or you can just sweat it out and enjoy your ride without focusing on the numbers.

You can expect a MINT Cycle class to be a little bit of everything! In general, all instructors use the beat of the music to guide the movements, but if you lose the beat, nothing bad happens – you just keep going! There will be a mix of flat roads, climbs, speed, and some choreography on the bike that will engage muscles you don’t always think about using when cycling. Even the dance moves incorporate resistance and good form to help you get stronger.

Each MINT Cycle instructor brings their full personality to their class and their rides reflect that – some have lots of intervals, others use MINT’s Coach by Color technology, and some mimic riding on the road outside. If you don’t totally connect with one class, try a few others – they are all unique and odds are one will feel just right for you!

At the moment, all indoor classes are for fully vaccinated members and visitors. You’re required to upload a photo of your vaccination card to our Safety Screening Form. Classes are capped at 10 people so save your spot now!

Get to know our GM – Bresni Maldonado

July 4, 2021 by mint-sk

Bresni started working at MINT in December 2011 as a concierge at MINT Downtown. Over the years, Bresni has taken on several roles at MINT that has helped expand her knowledge within the fitness industry. Bresni’s vast experience, friendly personality, and go-getter attitude are all things that make her an incredible General Manager. She recognizes that it takes a village and she is incredibly appreciative of the amazing MINT team that she has had the pleasure of working with.

When asked what the favorite part of her job is she responded with “I love building relationships with both the staff and members.” Since re-opening in June 2020 Bresni has had the pleasure of getting to know several long-term members and new members in a more meaningful way. She loves seeing the excitement of members who have not been back to MINT since March 2020 and are ready to get back to their routine. It is truly a special moment to witness and it’s something she never gets tired of. 

She shared that the staff and MINT’s genuinely friendly and caring approach is what makes MINT truly unique! It’s not typical to have one on one connections and personal greetings between members and staff whether it’s checking in to the gym, coming in to take a class, or meeting with their trainer. This has always been part of MINT’s foundation since its inception and continues to be an essential part of MINT to ensure everyone who walks into MINT feels included, welcomed, and safe. 

Even with our masks on, you can guarantee that there’s a smile behind them. Next time you see Bresni in the gym feel free to introduce yourself and say hello!
