To keep this class fun, especially so early in the morning, we like to take advantage of what the school and the area have to offer us. Through the winter, on Mondays and Fridays, we use Gates Gym for our workouts. On Wednesday, we like to use the kickbox studio to switch things up! This room is located on the lower level of the school, on the south side of the building. If you were standing on the tennis courts, you would be looking at the kickboxing room windows. When summer arrives (50+ degrees), we get outside as fast as we can, weather permitting. We offer a variety of options, including track and tennis courts. For our special Friday fun, we visit the pier at Elder Park. Nothing like a sunrise on the dock, and you are finishing a great workout with a good stretch. What a great way to end your week! Location Directions & Maps Please bring an exercise mat, hand weights, a towel, and water. (During the winter, we use a closet in the Gates Gym, so you do not need to carry your weights all the time)
