The classes
What we run.
Strength Lab
Strength Lab is a progressive program designed to build stronger, more resilient athletes. Each full-body session develops strength, mobility, and stability through intentional movement and sound technique. You'll train with TRX, barbells, dumbbells, kettlebells, trap bars, medicine balls, and bodyweight equipment to improve muscular endurance, functional power, and overall performance. With clear progressions and modifications for every fitness level, you'll leave each session feeling stronger, more capable, and ready for the next step in your training.
MetCon
MetCon blends weight training, cardio intervals, and bodyweight movements to build total-body strength and conditioning. Each session emphasizes proper form, power output, and sustainable endurance, with every workout fully scalable to your current fitness level. This class delivers a supportive, high-energy environment with constantly varied programming that challenges, motivates, and builds well-rounded athletic performance.
Powerhouse Pilates
Taught by Alissa Ray
Powerhouse Pilates strengthens you from the inside out through breath-driven, low-impact movement. This 60-minute class focuses on deep core activation, joint stability, mobility, and controlled lower-body work. Expect plank variations, high-rep and low-weight exercises, and intentional movements that build a strong mind-to-muscle connection. We occasionally use light weights, loop bands, ankle weights, and weighted rings to increase the challenge. Low impact does not mean low intensity. You will leave feeling centered, strong, and fully engaged.

You can cancel your membership anytime, once any minimum commitment for your plan is complete. To avoid your next charge, submit your cancellation before your next billing (renewal) date. Canceling stops future billing, but it does not refund a payment that has already been processed. If you cancel on or after your billing date, that cycle has already been charged and is not refundable, and you keep access for the rest of that paid period. For example, if your membership renews on the first of the month, cancel on or before the last day of the previous month to avoid the next charge. There are no partial or prorated refunds.
