Chisel N Stride

October at Chisel N Stride is all about POWER. 🔥

And one of our favorite moves in our intermediate circuit strength class this month? The treadmill sled push.

Here’s why it works:

⚡ The forward lean makes your glutes, quads, hamstrings, and calves work together through every step.

⚡ Pushing against resistance trains the same hip and knee extension that powers sprints, jumps, and change of direction.

Short intervals. Big effort. Strong legs. 💪

Come push with us before the month is out! 👇

Last week, one of our members said this to a brand-new joiner. Four weeks in, she’s already feeling the difference.

Her secret? Consistency. Just two days a week, carved out and kept. No perfect plan, no all-or-nothing. She just shows up.

That’s the Chisel N Stride community: people who’ve started, cheering on the people who are starting.

Thinking about beginning? Your first class is the hardest one. We’ll be right here. 💪

Your body isn’t generic. Your training shouldn’t be either. 💪

Group classes are great. They’re built with movements that work well for the broad population: fun, motivating, and a brilliant way to stay consistent.

But they’re designed for everyone, which means they’re not designed for YOUR BODY.

Personal training is different. It’s where we figure out which movement patterns YOUR body responds to, so we can work through the pain or discomfort you’ve been dealing with and build real strength on top of that.

✨ Classes = movements for the many
✨ Personal training = movements for your body

Both have their place. But if something nags at you (the knee, the back, the hip that never quite feels right), it’s time to stop guessing and start training with intention.

Here our Chiseler, a regular gym goer, has been facing pain in his lower back and we’ve been testing various movements to see what his body is responding well to. Today he said “we’ve found the sweet spot, my body is responding well to these exercises”. That comment nicely summarizes the difference between PT and group classes.

Sweat. Strength. Stretch. And SLEEP. 😴 You can show up to every class, but if you’re running on 5-6 hours, your body doesn’t get the chance to rebuild. Tonight, try putting your phone down before bed and leaving it alone for the first few minutes after you wake. Save this for your next late-night deadline and share it with the colleague who brags about thriving on 5 hours of sleep.

5 years ago, Coach Saloni had major spine surgery after losing power in her leg.

Even as a former athlete, she says her real fitness journey started the day that surgery was done. She accepted that her spine might behave differently from then on. So she completely changed how she trains by focusing on cross training every week.

5 years of building strength and trusting the process. Then came the test: scuba diving with an oxygen tank on her back. She’d done it many times before surgery, but this time it was about fear.

She went on a trial scuba dive and her spine handled the dive with no issues. What did this mean - the rebuilding of her spine over the last five years worked!

What’s one fear you’re training towards?

“Hi Saloni, I’m back in Dubai. See you Tuesday for pilates.”

We get this message every winter from Suzan, and get excited about it.

For some, Dubai is a second home during the cooler months, and part of being home is finding your routine again. For Suzan, that routine lives at Chisel N Stride 🤗

Welcome back Suzan!

Ladies, in your mid 40’s? You might be dreading the M word but there’s nothing to fear.

Menopause brings a drop in estrogen, and that affects your bones and muscles. The good news? Strength training and bone-loading exercise like running and jumping are some of the most powerful tools you have to protect them. It’s never too late to start either 🧡

Start with Strength Foundation or Total 45 classes 🙌

Save this for later and share with someone who needs it.
