“I’ve been training here for about three years! This gym has a great culture, everyone is friendly and the instruction is top notch. Expect the all levels class to be 45min of instruction followed by 5 rounds of 5-7minutes rolling. You can sit out as much as you need, stop by!”

“I enjoy coming to class whenever I can make it! I learn something new every session and I’ve only been here around 2 months but Greg and Brian are very easy to learn from. They take the time to show how to perform moves safely and efficiently. You should definitely come watch a class and see what it all entails!”
