The studio's classes lean toward strength, with total body sessions making up much of the schedule. Alongside them you will find lighter options like TOTAL BODY LITE, stretch-focused classes such as TOTAL BODY + STRETCH, and a few gentler sessions for those who prefer a slower pace.
Class names often signal the focus. Themed classes like TOTAL BODY X HALLOWEEN PREGAME show that the studio also runs playful one-off formats alongside its regular schedule.
