BUILD Brings the Heavy Lifting to Newport Beach
10.22.26
BUILD, the strength-focused concept from the team behind BURN, has opened its second location inside BURN Newport Beach. The studio, which launched in August as BURN’s first location outside Los Angeles, now offers BUILD’s dedicated strength classes alongside its existing BURN programming.
BUILD pairs progressive heavy lifting with low infrared heat and medical-grade red and near-infrared LED light, all in a format designed for hypertrophy, or muscle building. The 50-minute classes follow a push/pull/legs split, giving members a structured path to getting stronger over time. With just 12 benches per class, BUILD blends personalized coaching with the energy of a group workout. The first BUILD opened in Studio City in May, and more Southern California locations and new markets are planned.
BURN founder Maria Chase has built a devoted following across five Southern California studios, where sold-out classes and waitlists reflect demand for the brand’s signature method. BURN combines high-intensity weighted workouts and low-impact, Pilates-based sculpting with infrared heat and medical-grade LED/NIR red and blue light. Chase said adding BUILD gives Orange County members another way to train with the team and meets a growing appetite for strength training in a supportive setting.
“We created BUILD to bring a structured, progressive approach to strength training into a group setting,” said Shaya Charvet. “With 12 benches, we can work closely with each person and help them understand when they’re ready to lift heavier. Seeing that progress, and having the encouragement of the people training beside you, is what keeps members coming back.”
BUILD’s approach also helped partner David Charvet prepare for “Special Forces: World’s Toughest Test.” He trained with his son Shaya to develop the strength the show demands.
“Preparing for Special Forces gave me a very specific reason to get stronger, and Shaya and the BUILD team pushed me to a level I hadn’t reached before,” said David Charvet. “Training at BUILD helped me build the physical strength and also the mental confidence to take on the Special Forces challenges. I’m excited to bring the culture and community that BUILD creates to Newport Beach and help more people feel seen and discover what they’re capable of.”

Spooky Sips and Pumpkin Pancakes at Outpost Kitchen
10.22.26
Outpost Kitchen is getting into the Halloween spirit with three new seasonal items: the Frankenstein Cocktail, the Spooky Spice Iced Latte and Pumpkin Spice Gluten-Free Pancakes.
The Frankenstein is a craft cocktail made with Midori, pineapple juice, lime, Hendry’s Vodka, Empress Gin and house-made blueberry jam. The Spooky Spice Iced Latte combines espresso with pumpkin spice and house-made vanilla syrup, comes with a choice of milk and is topped with pumpkin spice cold foam. The pancakes are fluffy and gluten-free, loaded with banana, walnuts and maple syrup, and finished with cinnamon mascarpone.
The Costa Mesa eatery will also host an employee costume contest on Oct. 31. Diners will receive a ballot to vote for their favorite staff costume.
Known for fast, fresh fare, Outpost Kitchen focuses on organic, biodynamic and locally sourced ingredients. The restaurant is Aussie-inspired and built on a commitment to organic, sustainable and locally sourced food. Inspired by owner Jay Lewis’ hometown on Australia’s Gold Coast, it prepares fresh meals while building relationships with local farmers and producers.
The Halloween items are available Oct. 16 through Nov. 1 at Outpost Kitchen. The pancakes will stay on the menu through the end of the year.
3420 Bristol St. in Costa Mesa.
