Coming soon to Manhattan West. You'll be stronger for it.
What is [solidcore] ascend?

Rise to a new challenge.

[solidcore] ascend is a high-intensity, heated, floor-based class for those seeking to expand how they build strength. Grounded by the floor and amplified by a custom weight and resistance station, [solidcore] ascend combines heat, prescriptive programming, and mixed-method functional training to push your muscles to produce more. Classes develop power, improve mobility, and stimulate muscle growth through heavier weights.
Strength
It's anti-aging in the most literal sense. It builds and protects your muscles while strengthening your bones.
Power
Training power keeps you quick, reactive, and ready for real life.
Mobility
Mobility paired with heat and strength training builds joint and muscle range for the long run.
Regulation
Infrared heat is anti-inflammatory and supports overall nervous system regulation.

How to prepare for strong50

Before class

Come ready to lift heavy weights in this heated, high-intensity workout. A towel is provided — just bring your water and, if you'd like, grippy socks (no shoes in the studio). Fuel and hydrate beforehand to keep your energy steady throughout class.

During class

You'll use a custom weight and resistance station for your entire workout, stocked with your equipment: dumbbells, kettlebells, and resistance bands. Your coach demos exercises throughout and provides cues and hands-on support to keep your workout safe and effective.

After class

Recovery is a huge part of your results. You'll have trained hard under heat and heavy loads. Rehydrating will replace what you sweated out and prioritizing protein will help your muscles repair. You can expect mild soreness over the next 24 to 48 hours as your body builds back stronger!
