This Winter – Try Getting “Brrrn”-t

I understand, we’ve all been there.

Seemingly every few months another fitness trend comes out- new ways to be our healthiest and fittest selves – debunking old tips while establishing new tricks. The truth is, we treat fitness like a one size fits all, and can feel defeated when it doesn’t work. Really the most important thing is to try and try and try until you find that thing - that style, that workout – that works best for you and your body.

So maybe it’s time to give “cold workouts” a shot.

Why work out in the cold?

In cold temperatures your metabolism speeds up in an attempt to regulate your body and burn those extra calories. Instead of mainly burning carbs, your body also starts to burn stored fat. Cold weather works to strengthen your heart- working harder to distribute blood throughout your body. Feeling awake and more energized, cold workouts can improve endurance and muscle recovery.

Located in Flatiron/Chelsea on 107 W. 20th Street, the Brrrn is the first cold workout studios of it’s kind in NYC. The concept originated when creators Johnny and Jimmy trained inside a 38 degree beer fridge at a brewery in Brooklyn and realized no gyms in the U.S. operated below 72 degrees. After studying the benefits they created the Brrrn.

Brrrn offers reservations for multiple classes in 50-degree temperatures. The HIT class is a 50-minute high intensity class that uses ropes and various weights for a total body workout, while the SLIDE class offers a core and cardio low to mid-impact session. They also offer a 50 minute class combining the two styles.

For beginners looking to start cold workouts – no worries – they detail dress code, suggesting to dress in light layers and offering free booties to those taking SLIDE or HIT + SLIDE classes. They offer a 2 class for $38 First Timer Special and multiple other package deals – from 5 classes/Sauna Packs for $160.00 to 20 classes/Sauna packs for $600.00.
