👶💪 MAMA + BABY — SECOND CLASS ADDED! 💕

WOW, Mamas! ❤️ Our 10:30 AM Mama + Baby class is officially SOLD OUT!

We had such an amazing response and so much interest that we’re adding a SECOND Mama + Baby class from 1:00–2:00 PM! 🎉

If you missed out on the morning class, here’s your chance to grab a spot!

Mama + Baby is an 8-week postpartum-friendly strength series designed to help you safely reconnect with your body, rebuild strength, and enjoy some much-needed movement alongside other moms.

✨ And yes... baby comes too!

Wear your baby in an appropriate carrier, have them safely beside you in their car seat, or switch between the two. Need to feed? Change a diaper? Soothe a fussy baby? Take a break? Do it! There is absolutely no pressure to keep up.

We've intentionally scheduled a full hour so there's time to arrive, get yourselves settled, enjoy a 35–40 minute guided workout, and pack up afterward without feeling rushed.

We'll focus on:
💕 Postpartum-friendly strength
💕 Core & pelvic floor connection
💕 Functional movement for everyday mom life
💕 Mobility & posture
💕 Gradually rebuilding strength and confidence
💕 Connection with other new moms along the way!

📅 Tuesdays | September 22 – November 10
⏰ NEW CLASS: 1:00–2:00 PM
🗓️ 8 weeks
💰 $160 + tax

Participants must be a minimum of 6 weeks postpartum and cleared by their healthcare provider to return to exercise. Babies being worn must meet the age/weight requirements of their carrier.

This isn't about “getting your body back.” It's about taking care of the body that's been taking care of everyone else. ❤️

Come as you are. Bring the baby. Expect interruptions. We will work around them. That's exactly what this class is designed for. 👶💪

Our morning class filled FAST, so don't wait on this one!

💕 Limited spots available in our NEW 1:00 PM class.

Stay on Track This Summer! 🌞

Hello Ladies—

We know that summer can be a challenging time to keep up with your fitness goals. Between vacations, heat, and busy schedules, it’s easy to let workouts slide. But staying active is essential for your health and well-being, no matter the season. Here are some tips to keep you motivated:

1. Embrace Early Mornings or Late Evenings:
Beat the heat by working out during cooler parts of the day. Our gym is open early and late to fit your summer schedule.

2. Set Summer-Specific Goals:
Aim for something fun and rewarding. Whether it’s running a 5K, mastering a new yoga pose, or simply maintaining your current fitness level, having a goal keeps you focused.

3. Try Something New:
Summer is the perfect time to mix things up. Try paddle boarding, or kayaking! Have you gotten into the pickleball hype yet? What about yoga on the beach or at sunset? Keeping it fresh makes it exciting.

4. Stay Hydrated:
Hydration is key, especially in the summer heat. Drink plenty of water before, during, and after your workouts and while you’re our enjoying the beautiful weather.

5. Workout with Friends:
Bring a friend along for the journey. Having a workout buddy can make all the difference in staying motivated and accountable.

6. Celebrate Small Wins:
Every step counts…Celebrate your progress, no matter how small. It’s all about staying consistent and feeling good about yourself.

**Join Us for a Summer Full of Fitness Fun!**
We’re here to support you every step of the way. Let’s make this summer the healthiest and happiest one yet!

Everyone’s journey looks different. Whatever yours looks like, remember we are here to help you along! Just walk through the doors and we take care of the rest 🫶🏻💪🏻
