health FAQ

Staying properly hydrated is essential for performance, recovery, and overall well-being. Instead of chugging water right before class, aim for consistent hydration throughout the day. A general guideline is to drink about one ounce of water per two pounds of body weight, though individual needs vary based on activity level, age, and other factors.
To help you stay refreshed, we offer free alkaline water for refills and Vita Coco for post-class hydration, replenishing electrolytes after an intense workout.
