We kicked off the year by trying out SaltDrop, a methodology that combines music-driven, high-energy sculpting and conditioning with intentional, feel-good movement designed to make you stronger, lighter and more connected. We took our class with Founder/Creator Dino Malvone who launched it in Oct 2019, continued in his apartment during the pandemic, and then in March 2022 he brought it to the current studio that he is located in.

He felt that fitness felt intimidating and exclusive and he wanted to create a space where regardless of your fitness, level, age, or background - you could feel successful in this methodology. His passion for movement, music, and community and to celebrate who you are was important to him. We can agree that in taking his classes, those vibes come across as he encourages you to listen to your body and to modify as needed (even if those modifications may be different then the ones he suggests).

You can sign up for Signature which is the core of SaltDrop. It's a high-energy, music-driven class that blends strength and cardio into a full-body sculpt session where you will move and sweat. Gravity is the Signature class but doesn't have jumping and is great for a grounded, low-impact effective option. We took Heated Sculpt which is a no-jumping, strength-focused class in a heated room at 90°. The heat deepens the intensity and helps you stretch, sweat, and release tension. Heated HIIT is their take on a low-impact HIIT class. It's fast-paced, challenging, and powered by an epic playlist, all while staying kind to your joints. We can agree that we felt better than we walked in after class and can't wait to come back and add this to our rotation of classes and we highly suggest taking a class led by Dino!

If you can't come to class in person, his classes are available on his digital platform offers live-streamed and on-demand classes to help you experience SaltDrop from anywhere.

In the weeks ahead, you should check out SaltDrop In February as they are hosting a "Love on Yourself" Valentine's Day event that combines movement with self-care. Once Spring arrives, keep an eye out for outdoor pop-up classes and collaborations as it is important to Dino to take SaltDrop beyond the studio walls to connect with their community in new ways.

We enjoyed this class so much that we want to encourage you to book a class. Use ATHLEISURE20 for 20% off whether taking a class in the studio or On Demand (code expires March 1st) when booking your class with Atheisure Mag Summit codes.
