As we step into the festive month of December Programming at Urban Athletic Club, located in the heart of Washington DC’s Shaw neighborhood, we’re excited to unveil a unique blend of strength, conditioning, and celebratory workouts. This month is not just about continuing our fitness journey; it’s about embracing the spirit of the holidays and the anticipation of a new year.
Embracing the House of Fitness: Our Unique Approach
At Urban Athletic Club, we view fitness through the innovative lens of a house analogy, focusing on Electricity, Plumbing, Ventilation, and more. This approach not only makes our workouts more engaging but also helps members understand the importance of a well-rounded fitness regimen.
The Power of Electricity Discipline: Gymnastics
Our Electricity Discipline, akin to the power that lights up a home, this month focuses on Gymnastics. We illuminate our physical capabilities through variations of pull-ups, handstands, and ring work, emphasizing high muscular tension and control.
The Flow of System: Plumbing
In our System theme, focusing on Plumbing, we enhance blood flow through the muscles with exercises that mirror the essential role of plumbing in a house. This theme is about ensuring smooth movement and circulation and strengthening our physical foundation.
