OUR STORY
Our namesake originates from the Afterburn Effect or EPOC which refers to more calories burned post-exercise than during the exercise itself. Conventional wisdom says work harder and longer to increase performance and lose excess weight. EPOC says work out smarter: the more intense the exercise over shorter time periods, the more likely your body is deprived of the oxygen it needs to maintain a steady/rest state. To return to a resting state the body consumes MORE energy (calories) post-workout than during the actual workout.
We choose this name because it speaks to how we approach fitness and our community, purposefully, counterintuitively, efficiently and effectively.
