The Science of "The Shakes"

Our slow movements
deliver fast results—but WHY?

Unlike workouts that emphasize max reps, our secret to strength is time under tension.

The genius of slow movements and continuous resistance:

  • Deliver a deeper burn
  • Build strength, faster
  • Cultivate endurance
  • Prevent common injuries
  • Enhance mind-body connection

How can you tell it's working?

When you can feel the target muscles shake!

A shaking muscle is a changing muscle—one reaching its capacity. That fiery trembling and those jelly legs are signs that you’re breaking down muscle fibers that will grow. back. stronger. Our approach systematically targets one muscle group at a time until it reaches exhaustion.

muscle failure =  winning results

"You really learn to embrace the shake!"

"You come out of each class feeling like you’ve accomplished something and are making real strides in your fitness journey."

What does it mean to "embrace the shake"?

Sustaining slow movement is challenging. As your body tires, you’ll feel the urge to move faster through the exercises - but hold your horses & follow the rhythm!

As soon as you slow things down, you’ll find that shake,

and the shake is where the growth happens!

btone's method leads to faster results, but how?

Just 45 minutes of btone’s constant, targeted movement makes your body burn energy long after leaving the studio. This is thanks to the science of EPOC, or Excess Post-Exercise Oxygen Consumption.

Uh...say what now?

Sustained high-intensity workouts that combine strength training and endurance—build muscle efficiently.

You’ll see and feel results in your body early in your btone journey. You’ll only grow stronger from there.

"btone is the perfect way to break free from the weight room rut!"

"It's a total-body challenge that gets your core fired up and muscles screaming (in a good way!), it also helps balance and posture too!"

-Tiana

Shaky muscles are changing muscles.

Post-workout soreness is the result of lactic acid buildup, a byproduct of anaerobic exercise that triggers EPOC.

Those hard-earned shaky, sore muscles mean one thing — You understood the assignment!

Soreness may be most intense after your first few classes, so hang in there—drink lots of water, stretch, and keep signing up. With consistency, you will train your muscles to recover faster.

The magical thing about our method is that you won’t plateau – the workout is designed to grow with you!
