It’s not that serious in here.
We take the weights seriously and that’s about it. The playlist is loud, the teacher is on the mic cracking jokes between rounds, a Pilates ball gets loose and rolls across the room, somebody laughs, and you stopped watching the clock a while ago. You can hear when the last round starts, because the whole room gets louder.
Nobody is watching you. Our regulars run from sixteen to sixty, and most of them were nervous the first time too.
Bring 3 things.

Water
Bala Bangles (optional)

Power in there. Strength in here.
The Lab is one of two rooms at The Works. Next door, The Studio is our yoga room, where we build power through breath, fluidity, and control. In here, we build strength through load, intensity, and repetition. Different methods, shared purpose, and what you develop in one room makes you better in the other.

Why do you love The Lab?
“
“I've been coming to The Works for four years and absolutely love Fusion! It's a seriously challenging workout with great music and the perfect mix of Pilates and weight training. Every teacher brings something different, so no two classes are ever the same. I've gotten stronger and love the way this class makes me feel!”

Heated mat strength, five ways.
Every class is heated, every class is open to every level, and every one of them was built in this room.
Fusion · Fusion 50 · Cardio Core 45 · Fusion Vinyasa · Pilates Sculpt
THE HEAT92+ degrees
Warm enough to loosen you up in the first five minutes, not so hot that you spend the hour surviving it. You will sweat. That's the point and also the fun.
THE WEIGHTSEverything on the mat
Hand weights from 2 to 12 pounds, resistance bands, sliders, Pilates balls, and bala bangles. No machines, no reformers, nothing to learn how to operate. You pick your weight, every single round.
THE MUSICLoud on purpose
Heavy-beat remixes, teachers mic'd, and a room that gets louder on the last round. One class goes fast when nobody is counting anything but reps.
THE ROOMSixteen to sixty
Moms, daughters, college kids, and their friends, all on neighboring mats picking different weights. Nobody is watching you because they're too busy having fun. Most of them were nervous their first time too.

Your second one’s on us.
