Tucked into a sun-lit, repurposed warehouse on the east edge of the arts district, Grow More Dance & Fitness Studio feels less like a traditional gym and more like a living soundtrack. The front half of the 4,000-square-foot space is a reclaimed maple floor ringed by fold-away mirrors; DJs perch in an overhead mezzanine where conveyor rails once moved bolts of fabric. By day, that floor hosts hip-hop cardio and Afro-Cuban percussion workouts, the kick drums echoing softly through suspended sound panels shaped like monstera leaves. By night, colored LEDs fade in, the mirrors slide into wall pockets, and the same surface becomes a low-lit dancehall where resident selectors spin neo-soul, jersey club, and amapiano until midnight.
Grow More’s sound identity was curated by co-founder Marisol “Mars” Ortega, a former FIU dance captain who double-majored in exercise science and music engineering. She specs every subwoofer herself; the custom 3-way stacks—in matte avocado green—deliver 25 hz bass you feel in your collarbones without drowning conversation at the juice bar. Each Tuesday the studio live-streams “Rhythm Lab,” an open-music production class whose synth noodling bleeds gently into the adjoining lounge, where listeners sink into neon-corduroy banquettes beneath a living wall of pothos and philodendron.
Programming oscillates between sweat and celebration. Morning sessions layer ankle-weight isolations over Afrobeats flips; twilight classes turn the floor into a roller-rink fantasy beneath spinning mirror-balls. A sliding barn door at the back conceals a pint-sized recording booth—converted from an old freight elevator—where members can lay down vocals after their cardio cooldown. Thursdays belong to “Story & Step,” a spoken-word & step workshop led by local poets that detours into impromptu cyphers when the groove takes over, Mars adjusting mixer EQ from an iPad while still demonstrating burpee form.
On first Fridays the furniture disappears entirely. The mirrored walls become projection screens for VJ-mapped visuals (last month, cascading koi fish chased bass drops across the ceiling). Local breweries and vegan bakers set up at the perimeter; ticket proceeds seed Grow More’s youth scholarship fund, giving underserved teens access to the same pristine sound system they watched thump through the windows. Even in full club mode, water refill stations glow softly in the corners, and staff circulate with eucalyptus-infused chilled towels—evidence that, music venue or not, wellness never clocks out.
Drop-in classes start at $18; unlimited memberships come with two hours of booth time and priority entry to weekend dance parties. Guests leave with the signature Grow More scent—bergamot, mint, and a faint trace of bass—still vibrating in their hoodie drawstrings.
