Here are the highlights:

  • Challenging and diverse workouts that focus on all primary components of exercise (strength, mobility, cardio fitness and functional training) 
  • Personal attention and guidance from a master trainer (class is limited to 12 participants)
  • Daily exercise options provided for non-class days 
  • 5-minute Behavior Change tips and check-ins at the conclusion of every class
