Before we jump into the overview of the class, I think it’s important to mention that yes if you walk by this class, it can seem intimidating however, I promise you this class will give you a great workout and it’s a lot of fun and the instructors are absolutely amazing. They are supportive and encouraging. They are helpful without being embarrassing and you will have a great time!
