This week, have fun getting right to the point with our short and sweet classes. You’ll be surprised how impactful 3 minutes of movement can be to your overall energy and focus throughout the day. We also encourage you to find time each day to incorporate a “movement snack” –– a few stretches while you’re cooking, walk up the stairs instead of taking the elevator, or go for a quick afternoon walk around the block. Get creative with how you fit movement into your day!
The Schedule

Warm Up with Dom | Athletic Strength & Cardio Class
