In an ideal world, you should do one hour of muscular structure work and one hour of cardio, six days a week. But we understand that life often gets in the way. You’ll find many hour-long multitask classes on the schedule, which include both cardio and muscular structure work: In addition, when clients can’t commit to a full two hours, they’ll often stay for half of the second class (i.e., the cardio half of a multitask class). During your body assessment and consultation The Prescription Team will help you prioritize your efforts if you’re facing a time constraint.

Never. The Tracy Anderson Method revolves around empowering and firing the accessory muscles, rather than over-charging the large muscle groups. Because these little guys get strong—and bored—fast, the muscular structure work changes every 7 days to keep your body consistently challenged. You will find that while you’ll get stronger and fitter, the Method will never feel easy, which is why no client ever plateaus. The routines also change every 7 days because your mind gets bored quickly, too: Transformation requires that you stay focused and connected to what your body is doing. When the mind strays or goes on auto-pilot, the results diminish. Many of the muscular structure moves require an intense amount of concentration.

No, consistency is key when you’re asking your body to transform. In addition, continuing to move through the workouts despite soreness will help your muscles release some of the toxins that are creating the soreness in the first place.

Yes, the Church Street location offers both bathrooms and a changing room.

Our classrooms are heated to 95 degrees with 75 percent humidity. Working out in the heat and humidity provides a number of benefits: Sweat encourages the body to release toxins and improves skin elasticity and tone. The heat also keeps the muscles warm, ready to move, and malleable.

As a studio client or guest, you will need to bring comfortable workout clothes, socks, and sneakers to wear during the workout. If you forget to pack a workout top or pair of leggings, you can shop a full range of apparel pieces located at reception.

You can always upgrade during your current contract, but you cannot downgrade. When you renew your membership, you can do so at any level.

Yes, pay per class options and class packages are available. Please visit the Studio City class schedule for pricing, times and availabilities.

Private Training is all-inclusive training, which means that it involves both muscular structure and cardio work. Private Training clients receive body assessments, and their program is tailored to their specific level and needs by The Prescription Team. In Private Training sessions, the trainers do the workout right alongside the clients, motivating them every step of the way. In a Semi-Private Training session, a trainer will work alongside two or more clients at the same time.

Custom denotes a custom muscular structure routine, which is dictated by a client’s specific body type and needs. The Custom Program prescription comes out of monthly body assessments by The Prescription Team and changes every 10 days. The custom program is executed in a semi-private environment; a shared space with trainers overseeing, correcting and instructing each client’s individual custom-designed workout plan.
