Sweat Fixx- Q&A Stream 360-Live streams

Hey Crew! 

We’ve had a bunch of questions regarding our Streams so wanted to clarify and answer as best we can to get you set for our Steam 360s as well as our Live streams! This will hopefully make it easier for you to navigate and get some great workouts in while you are at home. As always, you can reach out to us at any time, and we will be more than happy to help!

1. STREAM 360- (ACCESS ANYTIME! NOT LIVE)

How do you sign up for Stream 360?

Jump on our website: At the top you will see a button for our Stream 360 – click on that! If you scroll down, you will see an option for one video for $10 (good for 24 hours), or you can sign up for a monthly Stream membership in which you would have access to all of our pre recorded streams for $39 for the entire month.

Note this is a DIFFERENT login then for your normal Sweat Fixx classes. You can not use class packs on this separate platform.

If you buy a stream 360 does it work for the LIVE classes?

Unfortunately, no. That is a separate platform and cost. 

2. LIVE STREAMING (ACCESS DURING LIVE CLASS TIMES) 

How do I sign up for Live Streams?

Signing up for the Live Streams is just like signing up for your regular Sweat Fixx classes. You can use your class packs, purchase an individual class, or use your unlimited monthly membership – just as if you were coming to the studio! Don’t worry. If you are only ClassPass or GymPass, you can use that to sign up too! 

How do I join the live stream? 

A link will be sent to you via email a ½ hour before the class starts. Please make sure to check your spam folder if you haven’t received the email from Sweat Fixx as it sometimes can make its way in there. If you still have not received the email, please email your home studio managers for the link:
Amesbury, Beverly: michelle@sweatfixx.com
Arlington: elise@sweatfixx.com
Southie: danielle@sweatfixx.com
Wakefield: carly@sweatfixx.com

I do NOT want to be on camera!

No problem at all! In this stream, there is an option to turn your camera off. Of course we would love to see all of your smiling (and sweaty) faces, but we also understand that not everyone likes to be on camera. Please know though you are just a small square on the screen and if everyone is doing the workout like we hope, you won’t be stared at – unless the instructor wants to call you out to get one inch lower ;). Kidding… well maybe. 

I have a barking dog at home and loud kids! I don’t want to be distracting.

We’ve got that covered too! Once the actual class starts, we mute everyone so you can only hear the instructor. We keep you unmuted before the class so you can chat with your fellow Fixxers (but you can also mute on your end). We will also give you time at the end of class to chat and talk about a job well done if you want. 

Do I need any special equipment? 

For our Stream 360, we have lots of different options for body weight only, minibands, water bottles, towels and weights. For our Live Streams, you only need yourself and possibly a towel or water bottle. We are working hard to keep things interesting and challenging so depending on how long this goes for, we may add in some weight or band options. Stay tuned. 

When will you be offering live classes?

As of right now we will be hosting a 6:30AM, 9:00AM, and 12:00PM class. We have a couple of evening pop ups planned. We are likely adding a 6pm evening class as well so don’t worry night-time warriors! 

In this time of uncertainty, we want to have a space for our clients to feel healthy, happy, and safe! We are so excited to have this opportunity when you can’t be in the studio for us to be able to connect with our loyal crew. As always, any questions, comments or concerns please feel free to reach out to us!

Nervous to try a Stream? Here are some things our clients are saying:

“That virtual class was a life saver today for my sanity- and it’s only day 1! Looking forward to streaming some of the other ones too”

“Can’t wait to get back in the studio with you but I’m really grateful for everything you guys are doing to make sure we still get our butts kicked!”

“I honestly feel like having this normalcy is going to be so great for everyone… to be able to start my day this way was amazing”

“This morning was awesome!!!! Arms are already sore”

“Did the 6:30 this morning and loved it. I am terrible with technology, but I was there sweating all along <3”

“I am honestly so impressed how quickly you all put together such an incredible LIVE workout series to keep clients engaged and excited to workout in such a stressful and scary time! I needed that this morning and can’t wait to work out with all of you again”

“In true Sweat Fixx fashion, you have built an even stronger community”

“Seeing my crew definitely helped keep me going”

I have to say, I knocked this one out of the park and if I’m being honest, it was a completely accidental recipe! 

I had something entirely different planned for dinner and realized I bought the small shrimp instead of the large shrimp and they wouldn’t work for the recipe I had wanted to make.  Oops! Thinking on the fly and starving after the gym, I worked with some ingredients I had in the fridge and pantry and came up with this delicious healthy shrimp fried brown rice.  

This shrimp fried brown rice is a perfect way to use up leftover rice.  Another tip for making this recipe a quick weeknight meal is by using the Trader Joe’s frozen brown rice.  You just pop it in the microwave for 3 minutes and you have perfectly cooked brown rice. This is a great option if you don’t have any leftovers and also don’t want to spend the 45 minutes it typically takes to cook brown rice.  Also, if you haven’t tried coconut aminos, you need to. It’s a great low sodium, healthy alternative to soy sauce.  

This recipe is simple and delicious and tastes like you just got it delivered from your favorite local restaurant.  

Ingredients:

• 1 pound 41/50 count shrimp, peeled and de-veined 
• 4 cups brown rice, cooked
• 2 eggs, whisked
• ¼ cup coconut aminos (or low sodium soy sauce)
• 1 tbsp sesame oil
• 2 tbsp ginger paste or fresh grated ginger
• ½ cup frozen peas
• ½ cup scallions, chopped in 1 inch pieces
• Salt & Pepper
• 2 tsp avocado oil

Instructions: 

• Mix coconut aminos, sesame oil and ginger in a bowl and set aside. 
• Heat avocado oil in a large saute pan. Season shrimp with salt & pepper and add to pan. 
• Cook the shrimp for 1 minute on each side.
• When shrimp is pink, add cooked brown rice, peas and scallions and sauce to pan and mix until all ingredients are incorporated. 
• When the rice and shrimp is thoroughly mixed push the mixture to one side of the pan.
• Add the eggs to the pan and mix the eggs until they are scrambled but still slightly wet and then stir the eggs into the rice and shrimp mixture until everything is completely mixed. 
• Serve and enjoy! 

Megan has been quietly crushing classes at Sweat Fixx since she started with us as a client. Whenever she’s in class, there is no doubt she will be one of the hardest workers in that room. She is dedicated, determined and strong AF! The Sweat Fixx team was so excited when she decided to make the jump from client to instructor.

How did you hear about Sweat Fixx and what made you interested in being a part of the team?

I originally started taking classes through ClassPass. I had never rowed before, but I was quickly hooked. Every class that I took was challenging, but the instructors were always so motivating that it kept me coming back for more. I wanted to be able to motivate others the way that all the amazing Sweat Fixx instructors motivated me (and still do)!

What keeps you coming back?

The competitive yet supportive environment. When I’m in a class I know that everyone is pushing themselves (myself included) to be that first person in for their 150 meter sprint, but everyone is rooting for everyone else at the same time.

When you aren’t at Sweat Fixx, where can we find you?

During the week, you can find me in the Back Bay at my full time job as an analyst at Liberty Mutual. On the weekends you can probably catch me running the lake with my sister, or trying a new restaurant with my husband.

Where is your favorite place to grab a quick snack or drink?

Mystic Station in Malden – it is the absolute best! Go for the pulled pork mac & cheese or one of their burgers.

Favorite guilty pleasure?

Religiously watching the Bachelor/Bachelorette/Bachelor in Paradise.

What’s one thing about you, that people would NEVER guess?

I majored in Math in college. I get a lot of weird looks when people find that out, but I just really love math!

 

What’s one thing you are most proud of accomplishing in the past six months?

Getting married! and all the planning that came along with that, and then making the decision to jump in and to complete Sweat Fixx instructor training within two weeks of my wedding.

One piece of advice you would give to someone who is walking through the Sweat Fixx doors for the first time?

The workouts will always be challenging, no matter how many times you come to class, but you will get stronger because of it.

Anything else you want to add?

I would love to see you in my classes and I hope you love Sweat Fixx just as much as I do!

 

Emily is a staple in the Southie studio. She has a subtle competitiveness that doesn’t go unnoticed by those around her and is always pushing herself and others just the same. Emily reminds us of what our crew stands for – ego-less but will work their ass off if given a challenge, a complete boss even at 6 in the morning!

She humbly crushes goal times left and right, and elevates every class she is in. If Emily ever sits down next to you on a rower, be prepared to level up because her work ethic is infectious! She will approach any challenge confidently, with incredible strength and focus to get the job done.

These are just a few of the reasons why we are so excited to have Emily be our member of the month!

How did you first hear about Sweat Fixx?

I remember seeing someone tag Sweat Fixx in Southie on Instagram and I hadn’t heard of it before so I instantly clicked on it to learn more. Once I read about the workouts and saw how conveniently close it was to where I live I knew I had to give it a try.

What keeps you coming back?

I love the community of people at Sweat Fixx. Everyone is so friendly and I always look forward to walking into a class and seeing some familiar faces. Every workout is always different, fun and challenging so no class is ever the same. I’ve also never felt stronger than I have since joining Sweat Fixx so it’s nice to see the hard work pay off.

What’s one thing that you look forward to every time you come to a class?

No matter who the instructor is, they are always incredibly friendly, personable and motivating throughout the class. I’ve been to many fitness classes where you feel like just a number, whereas at Sweat Fixx that’s never been the case.

What motivates you to be stronger?

Aside from my wedding coming up in less than 3 weeks :), I feel my like my best self both mentally and physically when I’m pushing myself to be stronger. Although the wedding has been great motivation to stay in a solid routine, I know I’ll continue to stay motivated after since I enjoy Sweat Fixx workouts so much.

When you aren’t crushing it on the rower or mat, where can we find you?

I work as a Customer Manager on our sales team at Clif Bar and I have the convenience of working from my home office right in Southie. There’s also a chance you’ll find me at any of the local Southie spots on the weekends, see me running around Castle Island, hitting a bucket of balls at Granite Links with my fiance or spending time in Marblehead with my niece and nephew.

What’s your guilty pleasure?

A glass(es) of wine (or craft beer), Mexican food and anything on Bravo like the Real Housewives or Vanderpump Rules.

What are you most proud of accomplishing since you first came to Sweat Fixx?

Aside from the strength I’ve gained, I’m most proud of my consistency and showing up for class multiple times during the week for myself.

One tip that you would give to someone who is coming to Sweat Fixx for the first time?

Don’t be afraid to push yourself and go for the heavier weight, but also don’t be afraid to just do you. It’s such friendly judge-free environment, there’s nothing wrong with going at your own pace!

Anything else you’d like to add?

I couldn’t be happier to have found a studio and community like Sweat Fixx and always look forward to coming back!

Sometimes the best recipes come from whatever you happen to have on hand in your fridge.  Such is the case with this amazingly delicious vegetable frittata. There was no rhyme or reason to this recipe but I had the ingredients and thought they would be pretty awesome together and was I ever right! 

You really can use any veggies you have on hand or if you prepare ahead of time, use your favorites! This is such a quick and easy breakfast recipe that you can make and then enjoy for the next few days.

This frittata is great on it’s own or if you want to spice things up a bit, add a piece of whole grain toast. This dish reheats perfectly for a quick morning breakfast.

Ingredients:

• 8 whole eggs
• 2 Tbsp milk
• 1 Tbsp avocado oil or olive oil
• ¼ cup diced onion
• ½ cup mushrooms, chopped
• ½ cup asparagus, cut into 1 inch pieces
• ½ cup bell pepper, chopped 
• ¼ cup crumbled goat cheese
• Salt & Pepper

Instructions:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees.  Whisk eggs and milk, season with salt & pepper and set aside. 
• Heat oil in a saute pan.  When oil is hot, add onions and cook 3-4 minutes until soft and translucent.  Next add chopped mushrooms and continue to cook for another 3-4 minutes until slightly softened and brown.  Next add asparagus and bell pepper and saute for 1-2 minutes. Remove from heat.  
• Spray a 9×9 baking pan with nonstick spray and spread the sauteed veggies on the bottom of the pan.  Sprinkle the goat cheese over the veggies and pour eggs over the top. Bake at 375 for 22-25 minutes until set.
