About Us

Born from a homemade trailer on the banks of an Irish river, our concept has grown into Ireland's leading wellness community. Find out more here. Now, we're bringing that same fire to Denver.

We believe slowing down, sweating it out, and connecting with others is essential for the soul. We aren't a club for elite athletes; we are a destination for everyday people who value the ritual of releasing stress and finding a like-minded community.

Having successfully scaled to multiple unique locations across the Atlantic, we are opening our first Denver home. As we grow our footprint in Colorado, we are looking for a team to help us build this community just as intentionally as we built our first.

Our team is held together by five values. If they sound like you, you'll feel right at home:

Give a damn: You care deeply about what you do and the standard you do it to. If something isn't right, you take ownership and act.

Get things done: You value action and outcomes over over-analysis. You move fast and follow through until the job is finished to a high standard.

Be a team player: You put the team ahead of ego, titles, or personal wins. You show up for the people around you and do what's needed, even when it isn't strictly "your job."

No bull: You're honest, direct, and transparent, even when the truth is a little uncomfortable. You say what you mean, with respect.

Keep your promises: You do what you say you'll do, for guests and teammates alike. If something slips, you flag it early, own it, and fix it.
