SWEAT Boot Camp- Not your typical boot camp!  Whether you're gearing up for your first Tough Mudder, Warrior Dash, or other adventure race, or you simply want a kick-ass workout that will get your heart pumping, your body sweating, all while getting stronger and faster, then SWEAT is for you!  By combining interval training with circuits you'll build muscle, burn fat, and get one step closer to reaching your peak fitness goals.

Mommy & Me- An ideal workout for moms (or dads) with little ones under two years old.  Workouts utilize your stroller, body weight exercises, and dumbbells to help you get back in shape post-baby.  Best of all, you don't need to worry about childcare because you bring your baby with you!

Boxing- A boxing circuit combining heavy bag training, the speed bag, cardio ropes, target training, jump rope, core training, and body weight exercises.  If you've done martial arts in the past or you simply want to jumpstart your current workout routine, then our Boxing class is for you!

Spinning- Great music, spin bikes, sweating, an insane calorie burn.  Need I say more?

Stroga- An awesome blend of beginner yoga with an emphasis on core strengthening, balance, and improved stretching.  A great way to wind down after a long day or cool down after you've completed one of our SWEAT classes.

Although classes begin in February, we're offering an advanced sign up for those of you who are anxious to get started.  We'll also be offering a FREE trial week starting on January 23rd, so make sure to reserve your spot before someone else does!

SMALL GYM, BIG RESULTS!
Make 2012 your fittest year yet!
