Meet Sam. 6 weeks ago Sam told me he couldn’t do a pull-up. I corrected him said yes you can. We worked on Sam’s pull-ups once a week. Today he completed 7 sets of 4 pull-ups. Sam hasn’t just grown in strength and conditioning in the last 6 weeks. More importantly Sam has become mentally tough, determined, empowered. There is nothing better than watching people do more than they thought they could. Great Job Sam see you Monday.

We still have a few spots available in the next session of Amped P.M! This class is a 45 minute total body workout in a fun & fast paced environment! The Amped crew is so supportive & engaging that we are sure you will come for the workout but stay for the friends! Time get #ampedup!!

Just a friendly reminder to be drinking extra water on these hot, hot days! Your body is only able to sweat & cool itself if you are hydrated. When not enough water is consumed, your body is not able to properly cool itself down causing the core temperature to rise. This can lead to dizziness, nausea, muscle cramps & fatigue. If you start to experience any of these symptoms, please let a Coach know right away!
.
Fluids should be consumed before, during, and after workouts!
