Which MINT location is your favorite?

MINT Dupont

Strength training, yoga, pilates, barre, dance cardio, cycling, playing sports, swimming

Hiking with the dog

 

What is your favorite group fitness class at MINT? Why?

Barre-Lates! But also love the theme-ride spinning classes (Calvin Harris vs Taylor Swift? Keep em coming!!)

 

Who is your favorite MINT trainer/instructor/concierge and why?

Everyone has been great.

 

What motivates you to hit the gym and stay healthy?

I’m seeing results! After years sitting at my desk, working 14-hr days and living on takeout, I made a commitment to take better care of myself, and my MINT membership is a huge part of that. I deserve this. I need this.

Why do you love MINT?

It’s a great gym – never too crowded, clean (this is impt), nice vibe, interesting classes and very convenient for me. All this helps make it a good habit.

 

Keep it up, Shaila! You’re serious #MondayMotivation.
