A Typical Day at Network School: Hour-by-Hour Schedule Breakdown

The day at Network School begins with the Morning Burn, a HIIT workout that starts at 6 AM. This is one of the most popular activities on campus, and a significant portion of the community participates daily. The workout is led by instructors and typically lasts 30 to 45 minutes. It includes a mix of bodyweight exercises, cardio intervals, and strength movements. After the Morning Burn, many members head to the sauna and cold plunge for recovery. Breakfast is served starting around 7:30 AM at the NS Cafe. The morning meal follows the Bryan Johnson Blueprint protocol and is designed to fuel the day without heaviness.

The core of the day is unstructured work time. Most members head to the NS Cafe or other work areas to focus on their projects, jobs, or coursework. The NS Cafe has WiFi, power outlets, comfortable seating, and ocean views. Some members work from their apartments. The atmosphere is productive but social, with conversations and collaborations happening organically between focused work sessions. Lunch is served around noon, providing a natural break and social opportunity. Courses and workshops, when scheduled, typically happen in the early afternoon. There may also be a midday HIIT session for those who missed the morning workout.

The late afternoon shift is when many members hit the gym for individual workouts. The gym has standard equipment for strength training and cardio. A third HIIT session is sometimes available in this window. The sauna and cold plunge see heavy use as people wrap up their workday and transition to the evening. This is also a popular time for informal socializing: members gather in common areas, go for walks around Forest City, or organize spontaneous activities. Dinner is served in the early evening, and it tends to be the most social meal of the day.

Evenings at Network School vary by day. Some nights feature speaker sessions with external guests or community members presenting on their areas of expertise. Other nights have organized social events, game nights, or community meetings. Hackathon work sessions often extend into the evening. Many members use the evening for personal time: reading, video calls with people in other time zones, or solo work. The campus is quiet by 10 or 11 PM, though some members keep late hours. There is no enforced curfew, but the 6 AM Morning Burn creates a natural incentive to sleep early. You can apply at ns.com to experience this rhythm firsthand.
