GET IN SH8PE

Participants start with the basics in our flagship 8-week course Get in Sh8pe: learning proper exercise form, good nutrition, stress management, goal setting, injury prevention, and more, while also getting some fantastic workouts. Each class highlights a different type of exercise and a different healthy living topic, so participants experience a wide variety of concepts to learn what they love moving forward.

STAY IN SH8PE

Graduates of Get in Sh8pe, or experienced exercisers, can move on to Stay in Sh8pe, which expands both exercise and healthy living knowledge with the same small-group accountability. Weekly workouts consist of cardio and strength with a different style each week, as well as check-ins, accountability, goal setting, etc.

WHAT PEOPLE SAY

"I wanted to start an exercise program after not exercising for a long time and wanted something that would accommodate my own limitations, abilities, and interests. But I didn't want the expense of a personal trainer. A tall order, I know! I enjoyed the classes from the very beginning. They started out gentle and were small enough that we all felt noticed, got one-on-one attention, and could ask questions. It was a great mix of women: ages ran from women in their 20's to women like myself in their 60's. Everyone at different levels with different abilities.

 

The classes progressively increased in intensity, but it was such a smooth, easy transition! And so much fun! My goal was to start moving in a safe environment and I was happy to see myself start firming up muscles. It is a good program for a lot of different people with various goals. And it's not only fun but educational. I certainly enjoyed it!" 

— Betty, Get in Sh8pe Participant, D.C. Metro Area
