Our goal is to ensure every fitness level is safely met and challenged, while providing an opportunity for participants of every fitness level to achieve success. Classes are team-taught, ensuring that we can demonstrate and modify throughout class. This allows individual corrections without slowing down the pace. In addition, participants benefit from the unique strengths and experience each of our instructors bring to the table. Oh. And we're pretty funny!
