The MOTIV Method

The 9 Focuses explained

Every day has a Focus of the Day: one of nine muscle groups that gets extra attention in every class on the schedule. The focus doesn’t replace a full-body workout. About a third of each class targets the focus muscle group, and the rest of class works everything else. Ask us about the daily focus when you book.

3 × Upper Body

Arms + Shoulders + Back

3 × Lower Body

Glutes + Thighs + Lower Leg

3 × Core

6 Pack + Obliques + Deep Core
