Changes are coming to group fitness at MINT!
Check the list below to see the newest changes, additions and tweaks
to the group fitness schedules at both clubs.
MINT Ambassadors, Ashley & Kim, are planning a fun pre-Thanksgiving gathering… and they want to see you there!
Join the Ambassador Team for a FREE Turkey Trot “fun run” this Saturday morning at 9am! MINT Ambassador Kim Gillies will lead the charge for a ~3mile run that is such to get you tuned up for Turkey Time! Not into running? Join MINT Ambassador Ashley Binetti for a class at MINT during this time. There are a bunch of 9am classes (Power Playground, MINTride and MINTbarre) to choose from! You can find all of these classes (and the run) on the MINT class schedule.
And the fun doesn’t stop there! After the run/class, Kim and Ashley will lead the crew to Southern Hospitality (right on 18th Street in Adams Morgan!) for 15% off their bottomless mimosas (we’re talking like $13.50 for all-you-can-drink mimosas, people!) and 15% off food, too! It’s important that you RSVP here so we can get an accurate headcount for the restaurant.
Please note: The run is completely FREE and you do not need to be a MINT member to partake. If you’re interested in the barre, spin, or Power Playground classes, you must be a member or get a free 5-day trial pass in order to sign up! The brunch is also open to all. Everyone has to pay for their own drinks and food, but we’ve secured an awesome deal!
RSVP and invite your pals here!
A few weeks ago I took my first Barre class ever. I know, as popular as the format is at MINT, this was long overdue. As a guy who has been lifting since age 14, I wasn’t sure what to expect. I love yoga, so figured that gave me some level of preparation, which turned out to be accurate, somewhat.
I was the only guy in a class of about 12, but it didn’t feel intimidating, mainly because Kathryn was very welcoming of everyone and the other participants were, thankfully, more into their own workouts than concerning themselves with the dude who felt a little out of place. That feeling quickly disappeared as we started; the class kept moving which is always my preference. Because each move was well explained, following along was straightforward, and although the work was definitely not easy, having a weight training background was an asset.
This was NOT ballet! The angles at which my legs and body moved were unfamiliar, challenging deep muscle fibers in a new way, and proving much more of a core workout that I anticipated. My legs were literally shaking by the end, a humbling experience after having squatted over 400lbs years ago. Like yoga did years ago, I can see how Barre as a program can continue to expand its reach to attract a large variety of those seeking diverse fitness experiences.
What do you get when you combine babies, bicep curls and burpees? Baby & Me MINTensity!
This new 40-minute class is MINT’s signature “Intensity” class, with your baby! Class focuses on fitness for the parent/caregiver and fun for baby! You’ll need to bring a carrier and a swaddle, as baby will be in and out of carrier, depending on the exercise.

Join the family fun every Wednesday at 1:30pm at MINT Dupont. Register for class here!
The original Tour de MINT is back. What does that mean? Hold on to your saddles, we’re about to give you the scoop!
Tour de MINT is the closest most of us will come to riding with the pros. In this class, you’ll watch classic stages of the Tour de France, Amgen Tour of California, or the Winter Classics to motivate you as you pedal.
Dru Ryan, an avid outdoor cyclist (11,000 miles last year), will coach you through a challenging profile and provide input on the race. Best part? You don’t need to be a cycling junkie to understand what’s happening.
This unique and challenging class happens every Thursday at 7:15pm at MINT Dupont. Reserve your spot (online or on the MINT app) and get ready to pedal with the pros!
