In our never-ending quest to continue to add value to being a MINT member, we are excited to introduce a new perk:

By designating a home studio, you will receive an automatic free guest pass every month to that studio, even repeat guests. Your current facilities access does not change.

Designate your home studio

It takes about 20 seconds!

Please note that if we do not receive your designation, it will be chosen automatically.

Members,

We love seeing you using our free Performance IQ system to measure your workout effort! Part of our mission is constantly working to exceed your expectations, and to that end a few changes are coming with PIQ. The most common feedback we receive regarding the loaner pods are 1) front desk bottleneck, 2) pod connectivity, and 3) concerns about sanitation. To address all three of these at once, we are moving to strongly encourage everyone to purchase their own pod- Amazon has what we’ve identified as the most reliable and cost-effective pod, at only $28 right here. Any ANT+ or bluetooth will work, though. After purchasing your pod, come to MINT Dupont front desk anytime and we’ll get it synced in the system for you, then it’s ready for any PIQ class anytime.

If you prefer to rent instead, a $3 fee will apply to each rental. If you haven’t registered for a loaner system, do that right here.

This is all effective November 1, 2017

PS we are working to bring PIQ to MINT Downtown- chronic internet issues plague the facility, and we anticipate solving them soon

MINT is hosting our second marathon ride on Saturday, October 21 from 9:00am to 11:00am. The first 45 minutes will be the regularly scheduled MINT Ride, and then the marathon crew will do another 75-minute endurance ride for a full two hours of grit, sweat, and cycling and racking up 20-30 miles on that bike. Oh – and we promise your PIQ stats will be Instragram-worthy.

Here’s what to expect:

Before
• If you plan to join the marathon, be sure to register early for class.
• Wear your most comfortable, sweat-wicking clothes.
• Bike shoes and shorts are strongly recommended.
• Bring a water bottle AND a bottle of electrolytes.
• Get plenty of sleep and avoid any foods & beverages that may upset your stomach the next morning. Go ahead and carb load!
• Eat breakfast. Banana peanut butter toast is the Breakfast of Champions.
• Arrive early to get your bike set up, monitor customized, PIQ activated.

During
• The ride will go for a full two hours. Stay for all, some, – it’s your ride!
• The first 45 minutes of class will be a normal MINTRIDE class with surges, climbs, sprints, and intervals.
• In the second half of class, we will settle into a steady endurance pace.
• We will have multiple instructors to coach, cheer, and help us all ride as one MINT Marathon team. Bring that positive energy!
• You may experience pain in your feet, muscle cramping, or chafing, so try to plan ahead and prepare yourself to carefully and closely monitor your level of discomfort.
• You may absolutely get off the bike during the ride to use the restroom, change your socks, stretch out your legs.

After
• You will be an exhausted, sweaty mess. Pack clean comfortable clothes, fresh socks and/or your favorite flip-flops.
• You will be sore. Please stretch, foam roll, take a bath in Epsom salts, or pop an anti-inflammatory to help with pain and stiffness.
• Pack a snack. You’ll likely burn upwards of 1,000 calories. Snacks, snacks, snacks. And then maybe a big lunch and a nap!
• Hit up a MINT yoga class on Sunday, or take the day off. Just plan to avoid the crazy Marine Corps Marathon traffic on Sunday!
