  • Reformer Pilates is a full-body workout that takes Pilates to a whole new level by using the Reformer. This machine offers variable resistance through a platform, springs, and ropes. This is a great way to challenge yourself in a low-impact setting while experiencing a new piece of equipment and learning new moves!

Here you will learn a proper warmup, cooldown, and how to progress your running from week-to-week so that you鈥檒l feel confident enough to try out a 5K.  
  • Are pushups, pullups, burpees, and other similar exercises something you want to improve? Maybe weightlifting isn鈥檛 exactly your thing, but you like the idea of being physically mobile and capable with the body you have. Beginner calisthenics will help you get stronger in these movement patterns as well as teach you how to incorporate them into your workouts effectively. With enough practice and development, you can also learn the techniques involved with movements like handstands, planches, pistol squats, and other advanced exercises. 
  • Is a regular Zumba class too fast-paced for you right now? Or maybe you just want to learn a few dance moves before jumping right into full choreography? With Dance Basics, our OwlFit dance instructors can give you more focus and intentionality in your dance practice, so that you can gain confidence quickly and learn some cool moves before trying our classes.
