THE SOTO METHOD
The SotoMethod is a mix of cardio and sculpting movements designed to maximize burn and efficiently deliver a full-body workout.
SOTO stands for Sixty on. Ten on.
We fire up each muscle group with a 60-second isometric hold; then we sustain that burn through a series of 10 dynamic movements. And we move on.
That same isometric hold becomes your active recovery. We optimize your time through intentional transitions: as one muscle recovers, the next one ignites.
SotoMethod is an inclusive space for people of all backgrounds and fitness levels to build strength and endurance. It is a time-based practice that taps into our mental fortitude.
Holding on for just one more second serves as a powerful physical reminder of your agency. It becomes a tangible feeling that you can carry into your life and rekindle when you need it most.

MEET HILARY
After a decade-long career in finance, Hilary Hoffman turned her focus toward developing a highly efficient fitness regimen for anyone deeply committed to self-improvement but strapped for time.
The SOTO Method was born out of one of Hilary’s greatest professional strengths: helping top achievers access their best possible performance.
Hilary’s signature brand of motivation will invite you to challenge yourself on your own terms; to find your fire, embrace the burn, and emerge a better version of yourself.
MEET GRACE
Trained in barre and sculpt, Grace introduces a new modality to the app using the same Soto roadmap.
But it’s Grace’s warmth, energy and brilliance that not only elevate Soto’s game but push this platform into its next chapter of growth.
“Soto community! I am Grace Freyre, a certified instructor and personal trainer in NYC & the Hamptons. I’m trained in traditional barre, sculpt as well as pre and post natal and I am so excited to bring my high energy and new modalities to Soto!
Currently, I work as both a wellness entrepreneur and corporate recruiter in the tech space - so I understand the value of taking time to focus on your mental and physical health. Between client meetings and calls, some days it may feel like that “time” isn't there, but with the Soto Method, you are able to over-achieve on your fitness goals in the most efficient way possible. Soto has yielded both clarity and consistency in my life- which has in turn, produced results of lean muscle, improved core strength, mental clarity and autonomy.
I am thrilled at the opportunity to help others achieve their goals and can’t wait to merge my rhythmic style of barre and sculpt with this incredible Method. Thank you for bringing Soto into your home, I am honored to be part of this amazing community! I can’t wait to move with you.”
