A Fitness Class for Everyone
If you want to move, we’ve got something for you.
Bodyweight strength training
We offer a comprehensive full-body strength training program that relies on body weight and minimal equipment such as bars, bands, and rings, aiming to enhance both strength and mobility. Our approach prioritizes building a solid foundation through primal movements, These fundamental exercises pave the way for progressing to more advanced skills such as arm-balancing, L-sits, pistol squats, planches, front/back levers, muscle-ups, and more.
Calisthenics
Different from other forms of strength training, such as bodybuilding and powerlifting, calisthenics utilizes your own body as resistance. This approach fosters enhanced mobility, core strength, and joint stability, which are essential prerequisites for advancing to higher levels. Calisthenics classes primarily focus on low-impact exercises and are accessible to individuals of all fitness levels.
Strength training (Full, Upper or Lower body)
Our upper body class specifically focuses on pushing and pulling movements to target the chest, back, shoulders, forearms, biceps, and triceps. Similarly, the lower body class concentrates on the glutes, hips, quads, hamstrings, calves, and core. This class incorporates a combination of plyometric exercises, weights, resistance bands, bodyweight training, and enjoyable agility exercises to maintain an active flow.
HIIT - High intensity interval training
Prepare yourself for an intense and invigorating class experience. Our workouts incorporate a dynamic blend of sprints, plyometrics, supersets, battle ropes, and engaging floor movements designed to challenge you and push your limits.
Circuit training
Elevate your fitness journey with our invigorating interval training class, designed to engage and activate every part of your body. This dynamic workout involves rotating through a series of complementary exercises in supersets, strategically targeting opposing muscle groups with minimal rest in between
MIIT - Moderate intensity interval training
Experience a moderately intense interval training class that strikes the perfect balance between challenge and accessibility. Although not categorized as easy, these workouts allow you to comfortably engage in conversation while reaping the benefits of cardiovascular exercises combined with full-body resistance training.
Mobility and Strength (Glutes and Core)
Immerse yourself in our targeted mobility and strength class, meticulously designed to address the imbalances caused by modern-day living. Through a series of compact yet demanding movements, we engage and train the vital muscles that support your spine and pelvis, with special emphasis on fortifying your abs and glutes. By strengthening these areas, you can achieve proper pelvic alignment, alleviate accompanying back pain, and proactively safeguard against potential injuries.
