The Why Behind the Workout
About Our Programming
Our class programming is built out weeks in advance and is carefully designed by Coach Alexa and Coach Nico!
Every class is full-body so that members have the flexibility to choose which classes they take week to week, without missing any muscle groups. This is helpful for members who take class consecutively and for those who train 1-2x per week to still achieve a full-body stimulus. To prevent over-use injuries, our programming team integrate different variations, rep ranges, and tempos to the key functional exercises. Alexa and Nico build around strength work/key lifts first, implementing conditioning, power and accessory movements as a secondary focus.
Our Coaching team meets weekly to go over the programming and learn the why behind the workout, to help them prep for coaching upcoming formats. If you’d like to know more about the programming, reach out to our programming team!
Here’s what you can expect to see in our different class formats:
Strength:
- Upper and Lower Body Push and Pull
- Press, Row, Squat, Hinge, Lunge
Conditioning:
- Bike, Row, Ski, Kettlebell Complexes
- Always creative formatting
Power:
- Each strength day will always have one power element
- Slams, Cleans, Swings, Sprints
Accessories:

Community

“Session is one of the first fitness studios I feel like I fit in at. The vibe isn’t elitist, or overly serious, and it feels welcoming to all levels. I always like the sequence, the music, the instructors and the people who attend. Its got a really good community vibe without feeling cult like.”
-Liz
“I’ve tried a couple of HIIT based workout classes across Manhattan and Brooklyn but Session is by far my favorite! The boutique space gives is a premium feel which sets it apart from it’s competitors. The instructors are also awesome! They focus a lot on technique and form which is important for this style of workout. Lastly, the community is great! They host summer Friday workouts where everyone socializes together afterwards. Love it!”
-Angelique T
“SESSION is the best! Classes are always challenging, while being safe. Instructors are always so knowledgeable about technique and able to give variations for injuries. The workout itself is HIIT and leaves me feeling amazing! Such a great class. And Aussie run- what more could you ask for?”
-Chloe G
“Session helps me because it forces me to push myself farther than I’d push myself. Session also forces me to spend an hour on myself.”
