Who This Is Perfect For
This lifestyle works especially well for:

- Early risers or late-night exercisers who need 24-hour or flexible options.

Tips for Choosing the Right Fit
- Try class passes first. Studios like Barry’s, Orangetheory, and Studio Three offer trials to help you decide.
- Check hours. If you prefer very early or late workouts, confirm schedules.
