It started as a joke
A friend bet me I could not make five 5 AM classes in a row. I am not a morning person. I am barely an evening person. But I hate losing a bet more than I hate alarms, so I showed up on a Monday.
What nobody tells you
The room is not full of people who are naturally awake. It is full of people who decided the night before. The music is already up. Someone says good morning to you by name. By 6 AM I have done more for myself than I used to do in a whole day.
Ten months in
- I stopped negotiating with myself at 5:45 PM about whether to come in
- My sleep got better because my mornings got earlier
- I know thirty people at this studio now, and half of them I met before sunrise
The leaderboard is fun. The habit is the prize.
Try it once
You do not have to commit to a month. Commit to one Tuesday. Pick a class, set two alarms, and let the room do the rest.
