Which MINT location is your favorite?

MINT Dupont

 

Favorite type of exercise?

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

 

What is your favorite exercise?

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.

Which MINT location is your favorite?

MINT Dupont

Favorite type of exercise?

Running, swimming, strength training, yoga, cycling, triathlons, p90x

What is your favorite exercise?

Deadlifts

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

PowerPlayground because it opens my eyes to exercises I wouldn’t have normally pursued. Plus, every workout is different so it constantly keeps you guessing what’s next.

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

Paige Fetzer because she gave me advice about my first triathlon and always managed to check in on how I was doing! It would be wrong of me, however, if I didn’t give a special shout out to Dru Ryan, Liz Harvey, and James Parker Ashley for teaching classes that are sure to leave me humbled, sore, and inspired.

What motivates you to hit the gym and stay healthy?

There’s nothing more satisfying than setting a long-term goal and achieving it. I’m passionate about endurance racing not only because it tests my mental and physical limits, but it’s something for me to focus on outside of work and all the stress that comes with it.

Why do you love MINT?

The diversity and number of MINT classes make it so accessible for journalists like me who operate on crazy schedules.

Keep rockin’ it, Julia! You’re #MondayMotivation for us all!

Fall 2016 Club Improvement Info!

by

HEADS UP! We’ve got some exciting improvements happening at MINT Dupont this fall. pparea

Here’s what we’re doing:

  • A dedicated INTENSITY Studio will be built by swapping the Power Playground and Cardio Equipment at MINT Dupont
  • A larger, more open stretch area will be created in front of the new cardio area. The circuit will be moved during the week of November 14 (during the daytime)Please note that several very low-use circuit/cable pieces will be removed (back extension, bicep curl, seated leg curl, and step-up)
  • Locker room locks will all be replaced by January 1
  • Circuit equipment pads are being replaced two at a time; any single piece of equipment should only be down for one-week (max) between the dates of November 7 and December 31.

 

Here’s how it will affect you:

  • MINT Dupont will be closed over Thanksgiving weekend to complete the Intensity Studio. (Closed from 8pm Wednesday, November 23 and reopening 5am Monday, November 28.)
  • Good news! Downtown will be open during those days and we’re providing a transportation subsidy through Uber!
  • MINT Downtown will be open on Thanksgiving Day (11/24) from 7am-4pm and the day after Thanksgiving (11/25) from 7am-7pm. Regular hours resume Saturday (7am-9pm) and Sunday (8am-8pm).
  • To make it easier for you… we’ll refund your first $5 for taking an UBER to MINT Downtown for your workout.
