BLACK TUSK IS BACK
We are so excited to welcome you into our new home located at 8760-149 Street, but we still have a few i's to dot and t's to cross before we can.
OPENING DATE: September 26, 2022
We will continue to keep you all updated as we progress. Just know that it's all coming together smoothly! If you've been to the OG BTA on 124th street, we hope you'll be stunned when you see our new space. We'll have brand new equipment and plenty of space. This is not because we want bigger classes but because this will allow us offer a more comprehensive roster of services, help more people become stronger, healthier and happier!
When we closed down BTA last June, we took an entire year to reassess what we love doing most: which was to make a positive impact in lives. Then we dove down a bit further to figure out how we could do this even better than we did the first time around, which resulted in us adding a couple more options to our offerings.
In our new home, you can still expect the programming to utilize weights (barbells, dumbbells, kettlebells), pull up bars, rowers, and ski ergs. We're excited to bring you some new toys as well, including Bike Ergs, Sleds and turf!
Our beloved Group Classes of 10-12 athletes and Personal Training are here to stay and can now happen in tandem, with ample space. In addition to what you already know, we will be adding Semi-Private Training and more extensive Open Gym access to our schedule. Here are how the 4 offerings differ:
SEMI-PRIVATE TRAINING: these are pre-scheduled classes with a maximum of 4 athletes to 1 trainer. Programming is generalized but the smaller group allows for our trainers to provide more focused attention to each participant and offer modifications that are specifically individualized to the clients needs. This option allows for increased attention from the trainer, while still maintaining a group class feel with your cohort. For those more who may find group classes overwhelming or intimidating, this may be a better choice to get your feet wet while bridging the financial cost gap of a personal trainer.
GROUP CLASSES are coach led general strength and conditioning programming with 10-12 athletes in each class. We recommend this option for athletes who have either completed fundamentals or an assessment. Athletes who have a foundational awareness of movement mechanics and feel comfortable in a setting this size.
**If you have not completed our fundamentals program or an assessment with us, we strongly encourage to complete that, prior to joining group classes!**
PERSONAL TRAINING is specific to the client, their exact needs and wants, full attention is dedicated to the client and sessions are booked around the client's schedule. Personal Training can be privately booked for us to 3 athletes.
OPEN GYM (Members Only): Scheduled open gym times during the day which will allow our members access to the facility. These times are uncoached and are intended to be used by our members who may want to utilize the gym outside of large group class times or personal training.
If you haven't been to Black Tusk before and are interested in joining but not sure how or what you're getting yourself into (that was a joke), we typically will have an initial meeting with all prospective clients through a "No Sweat Intro", which is a 20-30 minute conversation. This gives us an opportunity to get to know you + your interests and for us to give you a better idea of what we do. If this is something you'd like to book, here is the link. We'd love to hear more about you and your goals so we can recommend what we offer that would align best for you.
We can't wait for your energy to be in the space!
Our schedule (found here) will continue to expand and become more robust as we, as a community, grow. We love adding classes based on demand because that means you all love coming. Our website is now live with all our membership options and prices listed. If you are ready to go, sign up below, choose the option that best suits you and payment will be processed on opening day.
See you all real soon.
With all the excitement,
Jay, Anne and the BTA team
