We are excited to share that this past month we have uploaded 18 new videos with two new instructors!

Alex leads a variety of upbeat, energetic, and fun dance and strength training classes. They are motivational and their energy is not something to be missed.

Our other new instructor, Karmel, provides a little bit of everything from meditation, dance classes, and strength training, to boxing. She is encouraging and does a wonderful job of keeping your energy levels high.
