Mōtiv Fitness — Local services in Houston

From looking at the website I had the impression this would be a slow thoughtful movement class. Boy was I ever wrong. I explained that I was 64 yo but worked out on an elliptical 1 hour 5-6 x weekly and used exercise bands 3-4 x weekly and asked if this would be too much for someone like me and was assured I would do just fine.
