Where Minneapolis comes together.
Our Community
The people you keep.
You can meet good people anywhere. What’s rare is somewhere that keeps bringing everyone back together. That’s the difference between a network and a community.
It works because the same people keep showing up. The instructor who knows your name. The server who knows your order. The Tuesday morning group that starts saving you a spot. Someone from the fitness floor who becomes a Thursday dinner, and eventually the person you call first.
Minneapolis shows up for each other. EMBER is a home for coming together.
The Elements of EMBER
Move. Restore. Gather. Work.
One place for all four. More room in your day for what matters.
01: MOVE
8,000 square feet built for whoever you are that day. The 6 a.m. class that becomes the reason you set the alarm, or an hour on the training floor on your own. More than 400 classes a month across two studios, one of them infrared heated: strength, conditioning, yoga, mat pilates, breathwork, HYROX. And trainers, coaches and physical therapists on staff for when you want dedicated support toward a specific goal.
02: RESTORE
Some days recovery is social. You finish a class, head into the sauna, and end up talking with the people who came out with you. The Thermal Lounge is built for that: sauna, steam and cold plunge, unlimited, no booking, included with every membership.
Other days you want a restorative hour to yourself. The Longevity Lounge is private and reserved, with your own infrared and contrast suites, red light therapy, compression and robotic massage, plus practitioners for massage, acupuncture, bodywork and physical therapy.
You leave better than you arrived, either way.
03: GATHER
You came in for a workout and left having made plans. That happens here more than you’d expect: at the long table on a chef dinner night, at Run Club on Saturday morning that ends back at the café, at a workshop where the person beside you turns out to do what you do. Book clubs, entrepreneur circles, live music, game nights. And because the café and the cocktail lounge are open to the public, the friend who isn’t a member can still meet you here.
04: WORK
A full floor for people who refuse to choose between a productive day and a full life. Focused hours somewhere worth spending the day, with dedicated desks and private offices for anyone who needs more than a seat, and AV-equipped rooms for the meeting you’d otherwise book across town. Lunch is downstairs. So is the sauna. The afternoon that used to end in traffic can end in the steam room instead, and the client you brought will notice where you took them.
One Membership. Everything Under One Roof.
Move, restore, work and gather. Your whole day, in one place.
Strength & Cardio Floor
8,000 sq ft of Technogym strength and cardio equipment, built for every level, from easing back into a routine to training hard for what is next.
