My favorite classes have been the 6 ( a six week area focused strength class), heavy bag (cardio class with lots of kickboxing moves), and barbell (weight lifting). I had never touched a kettlebell, heavy bag, or barbell before and its shocking how much you pick up. The confidence boost from trying it to the first time to seeing your progress after a couple of weeks is crazy. The variety of classes was great but what really kept me coming back is the amazing community that Amelia and Amie have created. The gym is so welcoming to people of all fitness and knowledge levels and there is never any pressure to give more than you can. You truly feel welcomed here.

Josh makes sure to only let you do exercises you can handle while also making sure you stretch and don't get injured. He has also helped me with a meal plan to help speed up results.

Josh definitely makes you comfortable and does all the exercises with you :) One of the other things I like is the workouts are always different which keeps it interesting!
