I can't say enough good things about this space.
As a mental health professional who has worked in the field for 15 years (and works with children who are experiencing grief), this space is one that is necessary for me. FINALLY, a gym that is trauma-informed, inclusive, and so encouraging and cute. BIG FAN!!!

What else do you need?
Lovely space, very accommodating. I love the focus on connecting body and mind, that’s really missing from most of other gyms. Yoga and lifting, what else do you need??

I am so excited for this place!
I'm not normally a gym person, but Justyna has created a space with wellbeing in mind across the board. The result is an approachable and welcoming place. I attended a sound meditation last night and look forward to trying other classes soon!

This whole space is amazing
Did a slow flow yoga class here with Shea, and it was the perfect start of sunday. This whole space is amazing, super cute and full of empowering messages. The owner is genuinely so nice and caring. I can tell she puts her soul into this space. Love it!
