Epoc Studios

Forty-five-minute coached sessions are capped at 12 members at this South End strength training gym. EPOC Studios uses progressive programming organized into multi-week blocks, with coaches scaling loads and cueing form during class. Members' working sets and major lifts are tracked so each session can build on previous performance. The studio also has The Foundation, a separate Pilates and mobility space on the underground level. Its offerings include mat-based Pilates Strength and Signature Stretch, a guided mobility class; both are described as lower-impact practices open to all levels. New visitors can start with a one-time package of three studio sessions or two weeks of unlimited classes, without a membership. EPOC Studios is located at 1250 Washington St in Boston's South End.
