Strength and TRX classes
Strength and TRX training
Our strength classes and small group training programs will build muscle, improve strength and ensure you are lifting correctly.
Benefits of strength and TRX training
Strength training builds muscle, shapes your body and increases your physical abilities so you can do more. It will engage our core and help with stabilization. You will also learn principles of proper strength techniques.
Training reduces stress and perpetuates good health. It also loads and calcifies your bones.
TRX is a unique training opportunity that will make you feel stronger and more powerful.
Small Group Training gives you more personal attention from your trainer and allows you to learn principles of training while meeting people with similar interests.
