This is a great fitness studio and I recommend it to all people of all fitness levels. The workout is fun and challenging, and you can choose how challenging you want the movements to be. Kat was my instructor, and she offered our class a variety of ways to accomplish each set (easy mode, medium and hard). There were lots of different types of people, some who were brand new (maybe even getting back into fitness), and others who were regulars. The environment is welcoming to all (myself and another man were in there), and very positive and uplifting. The workout itself is a blast! I had fun jumping using the bands to assist (this helps with balance, you don't need to worry falling over because you are holding onto handles that are attached to bouncy bands). I also loved the lunge punch combo! It's so fun. There is a large variety of all sorts of movements you do, and it definitely is a fully body workout. You are working your triceps, biceps, back, lats, core, hamstrings, quads, you name it, it's getting worked! I also loved how the bands helped us with pushups. I was caching some air on some of my pushups! I LOVE this studio and class and can't WAIT to come back for more!!! Also the instructor Kat is a Doctor of Physical Therapy -- and has an outstanding sense of humor and positivity about her. Very motivating!!! I don't know where you will find a better value in ABQ than this - and have more fun in 45 minutes! I also love at the end how you get a nice cold towel with eucalyptus smell...So...
Read moreNothing beats in-person workouts with good instructors. This is a terrific place for folks of all ages and shapes to get a FULL body workout and stretch minus competition (with anyone but ourselves) or pressure. The instruction is excellent -- lots of knowledge here, so the tips on technique and the encouragement are super helpful and motivating. Classes are challenging, fun, and fast. I've enjoyed a variety with different instructors, all awesome. My balance and strength have dramatically increased. I've been active my whole life but as I age was losing balance. Thanks to Board30, I have the stability and mobility I want and need to do the things I love in perpetuity. I'm also feeling muscles I didn't even know I had. It's amazing how even the smallest movements during these classes give big results. Added bonus: the different workouts, active stretching, and trainer approaches have reduced how much physical therapy I need for neck and knee injuries. The folks here are easy to be around -- if I want to come in, take a class, and leave that's cool. If I want to hang out before or after and visit, that's cool too. I intend to stay with BOARD30 ABQ long term. These five-star reviews are here for a reason and I agree with the details in them — this place and its owner and trainers...
Read moreI have absolutely loved my experience with Board 30. I’ve always liked the energy of fitness classes and after allowing my workout plans to falter for the past two years, I starting searching. Board 30 popped up in my Facebook feed and I was intrigued and visited the website. I was pleasantly surprised that we had something so unique right here in Albuquerque. Although it looked fun and challenging, my first question was whether I was too old. I sent a message and the owner, Deanna, responded that I definitely was not too old and encouraged me to give it a try. I am so glad that I did. The atmosphere is welcoming and the workouts are adaptable to all fitness levels. The resistance bands are amazing. I feel that every major muscle group gets a good workout and I can tell that my core strength and my balance are improving. My plan was to attend twice a week, but instead I try to attend as many times a week as I can. The instructors are attentive and motivating. Overall, I highly recommend Board 30 to anyone seeking to improve their fitness and health in a non-judgmental and positive...
