After experiencing on and off running injuries for the past 2 years I needed to do something different. I decided to completely stop running and re-evalute my workout routine. Coming from a running background (elementary school - college) not running was extremely hard to accept. So after I was recommended 9th & 9th by a friend I decided to try a TRX class. I was convinced this class was not going to match up to what I get out of a run (insert foot in mouth) But after 55 mins of heat pumping planks & more, I was hooked, this place is amazing. Every instructor wants you to get the most out of your workout. The classes are kept small so each instructor can make sure your form is correct (being a newbie to all things stretching and arm related I loved this). Each instructor really does care about your goals, when you head in for your class it feels more like a little family. To strengthen my hip flexors I decided to take private lessons with Tessa.

Excellent equipment and a beautiful new studio in...
Read moreI've been going for two weeks with incredible results. After three ACL replacements within the past three years I lost my core strength, and support for my spine, hips and knees. I felt sluggish and weak. I had horrible neck, back and shoulder pain and never slept well. Finally found a workout that with every class I feel stronger. The instructors each offer their unique style and knowledge. They are creative, cares about each class and provides variety. The studio is clean, the staff is incredible and I'm feeling the results. Best decision I made and worth the money. Sleeping has improved and I have more energy during the day without the aches... just from a few weeks. ...
