The Babe Cave Boutique Fitness Studio — Local services in Portage

I started working out at the Babe Cave a couple of months ago now by participating in group classes, and I'm now up to 3 per week. The group classes are amazing. They are timed stations that you rotate, Cass demos everything before hand and walks around during to help. The classes utilize ALL the equipment, too. You aren't just using a set of dumbells or a plate. You get to use/learn all of the machines. Every day the classes are different, we reuse equipment but it's rarely ever the same exercise. I love it because it gives you a great full-body workout without having to create a plan - you just show up! The atmosphere is amazing - I feel so comfortable, and as a bigger woman, feeling comfortable/confident at the gym isn't always easy to come by. Plus, the gym itself is beautiful, the shower is even gorgeous, it's easily the nicest shower I've ever used 🤣 Cass is incredible - I notice how she tailors her coaching based on the person even during group classes and provides alternatives for those who need them.

Update - a year later and I still love it! I do roughly 5 to 6 classes a week and NEVER get bored! The gym has turned into such a wonderful community of...

I've been going to this gym for nearly three months now, and I absolutely love it! Cass has created a space that is so inclusive, encouraging, and supportive to everyone that walks through the door. No matter your fitness level, the classes can be modified to fit you and what your body needs. As someone who hasn't committed to working out in almost a decade, finding somewhere that makes me want to be there 5 days a week is an incredible feat!

Cass takes a holistic approach to working out, and she's incredibly knowledgeable when it comes to fitness and nutrition. There's no such thing as cheat days, rest is acknowledged as needed and encouraged, and every body is a perfect body.

In the last three months I've noticed a difference in how I eat, how my body feels, and have gained noticeable strength and toned my body along the way. It's actually FUN coming to class, and you can always expect a good laugh or two while you're there.

The amenities and locker room are great for getting ready for your day, whether it's to go home and relax or to go to work. I'm so happy I took the leap and joined, and so grateful for all the supportive women I've gotten to build a...

I’ve been to many gyms and had many attempts to start my fitness journey and was never able to find my perfect fit. Everything I could’ve asked for, I have found in the babe cave. Every class I am surrounded by kind, encouraging women. Cass and Elise are attentive to everyone while pushing you and making class fun. Every class has a wide variety of exercises and they are always different so I am never bored, which I encountered a ton working out on my own. Ive also found that applying proper form in my personal life has done wonders, as my job is hard on my body. I’ve done a nutrition appointment with cass as well and she was very thorough with changes I could make, what to eat while still enjoying food and working to get rid of negative habits. There are other events hosted at the gym such as self defense classes, Christmas parties, etc. that I always enjoy!

I’ve known cass for many years and I’ve never met someone so kind, genuine and uplifting. I couldn’t think of someone better to help myself and others feel...
