The Stanton Street studio offers a carefully curated experience of Celebrity Trainer Bizzie Gold's unique movement and wellness methodologies. All B MVMNT class sequences utilize spiral structure technique® to facilitate the deep release and toning of the body - physical, emotional and energetic.

Through primal movement, dynamic asana and cardio-sprints, students breakdown the emotional barriers that hold them back from achieving self-love and true human connection. Music guides the classes like an internal GPS - no more 8 counts or reps. The beat blended movement forces you out of your head and INTO YOUR BODY. It is in this magical place that you integrate your human experience instead of escape it. All formats incorporate elements of shaking and vibration to help release stored trauma and stimulate cellular organization.

B MVMNT offers drop in classes in addition to 3 membership tiers, private training and nutrition counseling. The studio includes a community infrared sauna complete with BOSE sound system and chromotherapy lights, NKD by Bizzie Gold retail shop and Golden Ratio protein bar.

The lockerrooms are equipped with changing rooms, wifi equipped lounge, community vanity complete with DryBar blow dryers and products as well as a 4 person infrared sauna. Guests can also purchase NKD by Bizzie Gold at the retail shop as well as purchase items from the Golden Ratio protein bar/cafe.

WHAT TO PACK FOR AN INCREDIBLE HIKING TRIP

42.13 million Americans went hiking in 2016 alone, proving that recreational activities like hiking are drawing millions of Americans into the outdoors. The fact is, spending time outdoors is inspiring, and is a great way to get away from the usual demands of daily life. Hiking provides you with an opportunity to explore nature and have an adventure of a lifetime. If you’re planning a hiking trip, it’s advisable to prepare early and know what to pack to ensure a successful hiking expedition. Here are some essentials. 

The Correct Hiking Gear

Hiking can be anything from taking long walks along park trails to climbing mountains, walking through challenging terrain and boulder jumping. While spending time outdoors has some amazing benefits, the last thing you want to happen on a hike is getting stuck at any point because you chose the wrong footwear or getting drenched because you did not pack your plastic poncho. Buying a trekking pole as support on your trail or to help pitch a tent is helpful. You will also want to wear the right hiking shoes, wear comfortable insulated clothing, pack a headlamp with backup batteries and get some sunglasses to protect your eyes. 

A Topographical Map

Lito Tejada-Flores, a renown skiing pro, mentions that while memory recreates experiences, every hiking trip you take is pretty unique in its own way. If you take your backpack and hike around the world, then you already know the importance of a navigation system. However, if you rarely hike, or hike the same trail every year, then you tend to overlook this essential. Ensure you get a topographical map, a functioning compass and some basic navigation skill knowledge. Back your compass and map with a quality GPS tracking system. 
 

A Medicine and Supplies Kit

Unlike a home environment where you can control everything, hiking comes with a whole new set of challenges. Carry at least SPF 15 sunscreen protection with UVA and UVB ray blocking properties, insect repellants, pen and paper, antibacterial ointment and antiseptic wipes. Your first aid kit should include gauze pads, pen medication, adhesive bandages, and blister treatment. Depending on your medical history, you can customize your medical kit further to cater for specific needs. Having the right supplies with you, can be a lifesaver in case of an emergency. 

A hiker’s best guide is common sense. If you get hurt, encounter any unforeseen dangers or there is a looming storm, then you should turn back and go home. Your safety should always be a priority. Getting stuck in poor weather without sufficient food, water, illumination, insulation and a navigation system are things that can be avoided. Pack these and other essentials you need for your hike and enjoy the outdoor experience.
