TRX is a blast! 💪 TRX includes a revolutionary method of leveraged body-weight exercises. Using this method, we perform exercises that build power, strength, flexibility, balance, mobility, and core strength, while preventing injuries. A member of ours recently said, “I love, love taking the Tuesday and Thursday TRX class with Michele S. and Nicole P. Both of them are fantastic instructors, fun and challenging sets/routines, always accommodating to new and existing participants, and sweet ladies. Grateful for them!” Want to try a class?
