OUR APPROACH
We emphasize Functional Fitness, Strength Training, Group Exercise, & variety.
Functional Fitness → Train Like You Move
Functional Training emphasizes exercises that mimic how we move our bodies in real life. It's ideally suited to adults who want to improve their overall fitness and conditioning, and lose weight. But it's also a staple in the training regimens of many elite and professional athletes.
Strength Training is for Everyone
Strength Training is the most effective way to burn fat, build muscle, and change your body composition. It also proven to protect and increase bone density, strengthen your joints, control blood sugar, improve mental health, and promote longevity.
Group Exercise → It's Better Together
Research shows that people who regularly participate in group exercise classes have greater success in improving key measures of fitness, like enhancing their conditioning and losing weight; and stick with it longer. Group exercise has also been shown to have powerful mental health benefits.
Variety → Change is Good
We believe that strength training, cardio of varying intensities, and mobility work are all important components of a well rounded approach to exercise. Numerous studies have shown that having variety in a fitness regimen leads to a stronger commitment to regular exercise, and helps people achieve better results faster. Also, different approaches to exercise can produce different results.

We firmly believe that ...
The body of scientific evidence about the numerous and profound health benefits of regular exercise is nothing short of remarkable.
Study after study has been shown that exercise be just as effective, and often more so, than pills or surgeries at helping to prevent or treat a huge range of medical conditions.
More visible goals like losing weight and getting more toned are obviously great motivations to work out.
But for many of us, the benefits we can feel- stronger, more self-confident, less stressed, better rested, greater mental focus, stronger immune system, greater mobility, and better overall health - make a much bigger difference in our lives than what we look like in a bathing suit.
The effects of prolonged shutdowns during COVID highlighted the importance of getting regular exercise - including for managing mental health issues like stress, anxiety, and depression.
Research also shows that - as we age - exercise can be an extremely effective tool for preserving brain health and mental acuity, and helps us maintain bone density and ward off osteoporosis.
But in order to reap the many benefits of exercise, you have to put in the work ... and do it consistently!
So we've worked hard to create a place where people will want to come exercise, have fun, feel good, and make regular exercise a central part of their lifestyles.
