Member Fred Karlin loves taking group classes at TPAC, especially BODYPUMP, Barre Sculpt and Cycle Journey.
“Having other people around gives me motivation,” he says. “I like the music, because it keeps me interested and makes the time go faster. And I like the instructors — they are all really good.”
A member since 2022, Fred says he is a big fan of TPAC. In fact, he recently convinced his girlfriend to become a member as well.
“It’s open and airy, there is a lot of sunlight. The members are really friendly, no one is judgmental. And the price is very reasonable!”
Thanks for sharing, Fred! 💪💚
