Strength For
All Of It
Twelve people, one coach, and a program that picks up where you left off last week.
// The Program
Why the program works
A plan that builds from week to week, a coach who watches you lift, and your numbers written down.
The plan
Same lifts for four weeks
You repeat the workouts and add a little weight each week. After four weeks the block changes and you start building again.
The coach
Twelve people, one coach
Small enough that your coach knows your name, fixes your form while you lift, and tells you when it is time to go up.
The numbers
Your lifts, written down
You log your main lifts on the studio tablet. Next week you walk in knowing what you are trying to beat.

// Your numbers · Built in house
Threshold
Our own tracking system. You log your main lifts during class, and before the next one Threshold sets your target from what you did last week.
The board in the studio, with sample names. Your row shows last week’s lift and this week’s target.
Estimated max up 18 lbs (+13%) since Apr 29 · 3 sessions.
Sample from app.epocstudios.com/progress. Yours fills in from your first class.
Logged in class
Tap in your weight and reps on the studio tablet between sets. There is nothing to install.
There next week
Your last weight and reps are on the board when you walk in. No guessing what you lifted.
Up over the block
Four weeks later the number is higher, and you can see every step it took to get there.

Pilates · 45 minutes · All levels
Pilates Strength
Full-body mat Pilates. Core control, posture, and slow, precise movement. It works well next to lifting and just as well by itself.
Guided stretch · No experience needed
MBL
Our guided stretch class. Mobility work for whatever lifting and long days at a desk have tightened up.

// Questions
Before your first class
What is EPOC Studios?
EPOC Studios is a small-group strength training gym at 1250 Washington Street in Boston’s South End. Classes run 45 minutes and are capped at 12 people with one coach. The program runs in four-week blocks, and you track your main lifts from week to week.
How do I get started?
Start with an intro offer. The Kickstart is three classes for $25. The Immersion is two weeks of unlimited classes for $50. Both are one-time purchases, and neither needs a membership.
What happens in my first class?
Book any strength class on the schedule and arrive 10 minutes early. Your coach shows you the floor and the equipment and helps you pick starting weights. From there you train with the group and log your lifts on the studio tablet.
I’m new to strength training. Is EPOC right for me?
Yes. With 12 people in a class, your coach can watch you lift and set the weights for where you are today. Most members started without a lifting background.
How does EPOC track my progress?
Through Threshold, a tracking system we built ourselves. You log your main lifts on the studio tablet during class. Next week your last weight and reps are waiting, along with a target to aim for. There is nothing to install.
What is The Foundation?
The Foundation is our Pilates and mobility studio, one level below the strength floor at 1250 Washington Street. It hosts Pilates Strength and MBL, our guided stretch class. Both are programmed separately from the strength classes upstairs.
Can I cancel a class or a membership?
Cancel a class at least 12 hours ahead to keep the session and avoid the late-cancel fee. Memberships bill every 4 weeks and you can cancel anytime.
Where is EPOC Studios located?
1250 Washington Street, Boston, MA 02118, in the South End, a short walk from Back Bay. Most members live or work in the South End, Back Bay, and Beacon Hill.
