Class Descriptions
Low Intensity
These classes are great for anyone who is looking to improve mindfulness and functional movement. You will feel great but you should be able to run errands after class!
Moderate Intensity
These classes are great for those looking to maintain, explore/or and expand their fitness abilities. Your heart rate will increase but you could still probably run those errands!
High Intensity
These classes are great for those ready to push their fitness to peak levels. Sorry, you’re likely going to need to hit the shower before those errands! *Remember, any class designated as high intensity can be modified to fit your current level-everybody’s peak level is different!
