weekly classes
participate in-person or online
No matter your background, fitness level, or goals, we have a cardio, strength, or repair class for you! Our studio is mirror-free and judgement free and we encourage everyone to always go at their own pace, modify as needed, and to have fun.
Classes can be taken back-to-back in different combinations of Strength + Cardio or Cardio + Repair. Time permitting, try a strength class (like POP Pilates or Burn) as a warm-up for Dance Fitness. Or combine a repair class (like Melt or Gentle Stretch and Mobility) with Zumba to prevent next day soreness.
cardio
Cardio dance classes are all taught follow-the-leader style with visual cueing. The main difference in each format is the style of music, amount of fitness elements, and the overall intensity. The intensity listed is just a suggestion. Students are encouraged to kick things up, or mellow things out, as needed.

Beats Fitness
Beats Fitness is a high energy Hip Hop and Afro Beats infused dance fitness class featuring fresh moves and an off the hook playlist. Blending the continuous movements of a fitness class with the breakdowns of a dance class, you will not only get an amazing work-out, you will also pick up some hip-hop technique and how-tos. No need to have dance experience, all levels welcome!
