Get your workout done even on Labor Day! Keane Velez and I are switching class coverage but maintaining formats tomorrow. No Sculpt though.

Looking forward to starting a new small group with our PR MD Running - Running Doc & Coach running classes on Tuesday night. While this class is designed specifically to help runners, it’s also great for anyone looking to ease into strength training, especially if they want core, hip, and foot strengthening. We’re full for this round, but should start another group early in 2027.

Unfortunately no Bootcamp again this week. If you know any group fitness instructors or personal trainers wanting hours, please send them my way!

Want a gym all to yourself? We have > 100 hours per week of private gym spots available.

Physical health is a very important part of mental health.

Your gym habits might matter more for mental health than you think. Fit people handle stress with 775% less risk of hitting high anxiety.

Our mid-morning crowd was almost unanimous in wanting another Perf 45 class, and Chelsea Innis Powers is answering your call! Let’s welcome her tomorrow morning with a busy class!

(Can someone in class please snap a picture of her? She is elusive on our Instagram 😆)

We welcome September and a few changes this week! PR MD Running - Running Doc & Coach is stepping in for Sara on Monday evenings and changing Build to the same Barbell class as Thursday mornings - lower reps, higher weights, steady progression of strength building.

We’re adding a new class on Tuesdays!! Chelsea Innis Powers will teach a Performance 45 class at 8 AM. Magen- Health Coach, Trainer will take over for Chelsea with the Thursday 8 AM Sculpt classes.

Bad news for last, we don’t have anyone who can cover Bootcamp Saturday. I can convert the spots to private gym, unless any members feel ok doing it with a workout program and no coach?

To be honest, I used a lot of barbell class footage in the Build video. Build classes use weight and our varieties of toys, but how much barbell depends on the coach.

Our Wednesday and Friday 6 AM Build classes with Magen Caplinger alternate focus between lower body (LB) and upper body (UB) and flip flop days each week.

Monday morning and Wednesday evening Build classes are always whole body (WB).

Performance 45 classes with Julie are at 8:30 AM Wednesday and Friday. These classes are a party with a workout involved, and with a heavier cardio focus than our other strength classes.

Questions?? Which class is your favorite?

Time to reintroduce some of our classes! We hope you try us out this week (last week of a free one week trial).
