Timing Information Explained:

MovementLink programming is designed to be able to take place in 1 hour group classes. Gym schedules may have classes start at different times 5:30 AM, 6 AM, 8:45 AM, etc. We believe in creating a WOW experience to clients ever time they walk into the gym. On thing we feel like they deserve is to have their classes start and finish on time. We plan our classes to the minute, with some buffer zones, to ensure we finish within the hour and use our time as wisely as possible. The Timing references above are for coaches running classes and for people following along in open gym or at home to make sure their workouts don’t end up taking longer than they need to.

X:10 refers to 10 minutes into class. If the class started at 6:00 AM, X:10 refers to 6:10 AM. If the class starts at 8:45 AM, X:10 refers to 8:55 AM.

In the Advanced Athlete section. You may find a negative time, like X:neg5. For a 6:00 AM class, this would refer to 5:55 AM and for a 8:45 AM class, this would refer to 8:40 AM. Another note on these negative timings, is that they are assuming the athlete is going to warm-up on their own and are designed to tell the athlete the last possible time that they are able to start their bonus work and still join the class for the next section. In this scenario, the athlete completing bonus work will have warmed up on their own and therefore does not need to warm-up again with the class. They simply need to be finished with bonus work before it’s time for the coach to talk and prep for the first section in class.
