Allow us to reintroduce Shannon Dixon, co-owner of D&D Fitness and the powerhouse behind our brand new Power Pilates class.

If you missed the debut this week, here is what you need to know. Power Pilates is designed to be traditional Pilates magnified and leveled up. We intentionally keep the studio lighting low to create a calming, private, and judgment-free atmosphere. It is the perfect environment to clear your mind, get centered, and still put in intense work with added weights and high reps.

With all the recent updates and new services at D&D, we are building a community where everyone feels welcome. We know stepping into a new class can be intimidating, but as Shannon says, just take a deep breath and open the doors. You will be met with nothing but support and encouragement from the moment you walk in.

Check out our updated fall group class schedule at the front desk or online, and come see what D&D is all about.

We’ve been putting in the work behind the scenes at D&D Fitness. We’ve made some changes to the facility, added new services, and continued finding ways to make this more than just a place to work out. If you’re looking for a place where you can train, take a class, get help with your nutrition, and find people who actually want to see you succeed, this is it.

This fall, we’re putting the spotlight on the people who make D&D what it is. First up is Zac Dixon.

Zac helps people reach their goals through custom remote personal training and nutrition coaching. Everything is handled through his coaching app, so your training and nutrition are organized in one place. Need every set and rep programmed for you? He can do that. Already know how to train but want someone to review your form and tell you what needs to change? He can do that too.

And if walking into a gym and starting something new makes you uncomfortable, you're not alone. Zac puts it pretty simply:

“Step off the ledge one time. Keep showing up, you'll get more confident, you'll get more comfortable, and you'll meet friendly faces along the way.”

You don't need to know everything before you start. You just need to take the first step and keep showing up.

Check out the new fall schedule, try a class, and come see what D&D Fitness is all about.
