Our mission is simple: to help you build a strong, balanced body in a space that’s welcoming and intimidation-free—but with plenty of attitude. At ONYX, our coaches lead from the center, moving with you and giving you physical and visual support every step of the way. The studio? Dimly lit, beat-pumping, and nothing short of a vibe.

 

Our low-impact method is crafted to sculpt, lengthen, strengthen, and balance your body—all while keeping pressure off your spine and joints. Add in the benefits of infrared heat, and you get the ONYX “afterburn” effect: an EPOC boost that keeps your body torching calories for up to 24 hours post-class.

While other workouts, like weightlifting or HIIT, focus on pure strength or endurance, ONYX is all about building muscles that are both powerful and fatigue-resistant. We bring the heat with increased muscular loads and extended durations of continuous resistance—helping you develop a balanced, resilient body that can go the distance and look damn good doing it.

 

How do we do it? By blending the core principles of reformer Pilates with targeted strength and endurance training, we get results that stick.

• Pilates Principles: Pilates is all about controlled, precise movements that engage the core and stabilize the body, building strength, flexibility, and alignment. By zeroing in on core engagement and proper form, reformer Pilates builds balanced muscle strength, posture that stands tall, and movement that’s as efficient as it is fluid.

• Muscular Strength: Muscular strength is your muscle’s ability to lift heavy loads—think serious power. We train for strength with high-weight loads and shorter durations to create muscle resilience that brings serious power.

• Muscular Endurance: Muscular endurance means going the distance without wearing out, like lifting all day with no sweat. We build it with lighter weights and controlled movements over a longer duration, so you get stamina that just doesn’t quit.

 

Welcome to a whole new way of training. At ONYX, we’re redefining strong.

At ONYX, we go straight to the source: Type I slow-twitch muscle fibers. Why? Because they’re all about endurance, stamina, fatigue resistance, and strength—everything you need for a body that lasts longer and stays stronger. These fibers are oxygen-loving machines, helping you power through low to moderate-intensity work for the long haul.

 

By dialing in on slow-twitch training, we’re not just boosting your muscular endurance and cardiovascular health; we’re building a foundation that supports everything from your toughest workouts to daily life. Our method sculpts, elongates, and fortifies your body—leaving you strong and balanced, without the bulk or breakdown.
