Award-winning fitness phenomenon Ritual One is coming to Houston. The fitness center built a cult-like following in Dallas, and the Houston location represents its first expansion beyond the Metroplex.
Scheduled to open in December, the gym has claimed 3,400-square-feet in Uptown Park between Juiceland and The Rustic (1121 Uptown Park Blvd. Suite 9). The state-of-the-art studio will feature a mixture of power sculpt, hot pilates, power yoga, inferno flow, and inferno HIIT–all taking place in its infrared-heated studio. Guests can expect traditional yoga poses mixed with sculpt and HIIT to push them to their highest physical and mental potential.
First-class locker rooms, luxurious bathrooms with showers and bath products, and a finely curated retail section, with selections for men and women, round out the center’s amenities.
Ritual One will be open seven days a week, and the class schedule will be posted as the opening date nears. A limited number of founding memberships will be offered ahead of the opening.
Co-founders Kalene McGraner and Nicole Preston are excited to bring the brand to Houston, along with Houston owner Yagmur Griffin. Founded in 2020, the fitness center built on the duo's decades of education and practice of power yoga. Ritual One offers a next-generation approach to its wellness experience, using state-of-the-art technology to give movement additional health benefits. The classes bring the heat, ranging from 95 degrees to 102 degrees over the duration of the workout.
“We felt that Ritual One was exactly what the fitness industry was missing,” Preston said in a statement. “Infrared heat, which is a great way to detox toxins, combined with functional movements, creates the ideal environment to push individuals to their top performance and ideal health.”
“We spent several years researching heaters and ionization systems to create state-of-the-art systems in our rooms that promote and maximize detoxification and heat you from the inside out,” added McGraner “Our best-in-class instructors and rigorous training programs, combined with our customer service, make for a top-notch experience for every client from the time they walk in to when they leave.”
The infrared heating system helps to increase blood flow, raise heart rates, boost metabolism, burn calories, torch fat, and stimulate cardiovascular systems to promote detoxification, all while reducing pain and inflammation.
