There has been some changes in how we run our weekly class schedule.  The class times will be the same but we have added more structure to the way the workouts are implemented throughout the course of the week. Click here to see the new schedule.

We also now have 4 more sets of rings (6 total), and smaller (18lb) kettlebells!!!  The gym looks better every day!
