Strength

Strength Mix: Essentials

Strength Mix: Essentials is designed for the novice mover, who NO previous strength-training experience required. Expect approachable exercises that emphasize form, alignment and functional fitness with focused coaching. Ideal for those newer to fitness or anyone wanting to refine the fundamentals! Open to ALL levels, with options for advancements (i.e. lifting heavy and/or fun additions) & tiered modifications, as needed. 

​​

We incorporate muscular strength and endurance with balance work, using dumbbells, resistance bands, and more to train the entire body. Strength Mix: Essentials is the perfect way to dip your toe into functional strength training  - always targeting multiple muscle groups, fostering mind-body connections, and working the body from the Powerhouse out!

Strength

Strength Mix: Build

Strength Mix: Build focuses on progressing foundational exercises with more variations and strength & stability challenges. Open to all levels, this class is designed for those with some fitness experience who are ready to intensify their workouts. Options for advancements (i.e. lifting heavy and/or fun additions) & tiered modifications, as needed. 

 

Bringing together multiple mediums and props, Strength Mix: Build emphasizes muscular strength, endurance, and growth while challenging balance, proprioception, and stability. From dumbbells to stability balls & resistance bands, we will ramp up intensity as we build lean muscle mass. This is the "sweet spot" workout for beginner to intermediate (and advanced, too) movers!

Strength

Strength Mix: Elevate

Strength Mix: Elevate is our most advanced strength-training offering, featuring heavier resistance, compound movement patterns, and a quicker pace. This class is best suited for those with a solid strength-training background who are confident with form & technique and are up for a challenge. Elevate has all the components of Build, just with greater intensity. Open to all levels, with modifications provided, as needed (disclaimer: tempo of the class will not be altered).


Strength Mix: Elevate is a non-"meathead" approach to functional strength training - we lift heavy in ways that won't bulk and push to our maximum to reach muscular burnout. Always a full-body workout driven from the Powerhouse!

From tabata, to ladders, fitness kickboxing influences & more - Power Mix will keep you on your toes from start to finish.

Pilates

Classical Mat Pilates

Classical Mat Pilates explores the ways in which all movement stems from the Powerhouse including the abs, the back & spine, the pelvic floor, and the glutes & hips (aka your TRUNK). Class includes variations of the classical mat exercises with integration of additional apparatus to challenge the body and brain. A full-body workout, mat Pilates will leave you feeling longer, stronger & hyperaware of your body in space - in truth: brand new!

​

We offer FOUR levels of mat classes, from the beginner to the advanced practitioner. Leveling is outlined in our booking software.

Barre

Barre Burn

Barre Burn bridges the gap between classical ballet and fitness by challenging the body’s level of control through slower, strength-demanding movements. We cultivate an awareness of postural alignment as we sculpt the abdominals and upper and lower body and get our muscle “shake” on. Use of light dumbbells (2-3lbs), a mat, a barre, and a host of other fun props - some days we will explore all center movement in a "barre-less" format.

Dance Fitness

LaBlast

The perfect balance of dance and fitness, LaBlast is a workout in disguise! This class is built upon the fundamentals of classic ballroom dance while integrating fitness elements to mimic cardio intervals & strength-based movement as you jive and waltz to the beat. Designed for the absolute beginner to the experienced dancer, no partner nor prior knowledge is needed. LaBlast your way toward fit and fun!

Mobility/Flow

PiYo

Inspired by PiYo (with a new spin), this class is a unique blend of movements based on mat Pilates and yoga, kicking up the pace a few notches to create a bodyweight-only workout that lengthens and tones from head to toe. Combining the flexibility and balance explored in yoga with the stability and core strengthening of Pilates (and sprinkling in some low-impact cardio), PiYo is age-friendly and modifiable for all bodies and will leave you feeling both sweaty & invigorated. Requirements: a mat and an open mind!

Barre

Barre Box

Barre Box is a fun fusion of classical barre and fitness kickboxing, blending together the fluidity and isometric nature of barre with low-impact cardio bursts to challenge strength, stamina, and coordination. This rigorous, yet "any level friendly," format not only conditions your"ticker" but will keep you on your toes (figuratively, of course) and make you feel as though you can (quite literally) kick booty! So let's punch out our frustrations while simultaneously increasing power, balance, stability, and control across the entire body.

Strength/HIIT

Step & Strength

Step & Strength combines a step (and risers) with our signature Strength Mix format, pairing conventional resistance training with infusions of low-impact cardio intervals. When you bring together a little bit of Richard Simmons inspiration mixed with weights, a step, and more... you get a whole of lot of challenge and a whole lot of fun! Suitable for any level, Step & Strength increases endurance while sculpting the whole body. Some classes feature straight-up strength in lieu of cardio - we promise to keep you on your toes!
