About
Slow is how
it lasts
We opened in a former print shop in 2019, because the gyms we knew sold motivation and forgot the coaching.

Our story
Built one year at a time
2019
Opened on Rua do Ouro
One rack, a borrowed rower and twelve members who trained before work.
2021
The first floor
A quiet wooden room for mobility, a sauna for six and a cold plunge kept at 8 degrees.
2023
The Saturday run club
Started by Kofi with four people. Now the coast path is busy every week at 7:30.
2026
Twelve coaches
All full-time, all trained in house. Still eight people in a class, never more.
