Our Team.
Our team is purposefully small and building slowly as we are very protective of our space and philosophy. Guilt, shame and punishment have no business here, nor do the typical tendencies of a gym with a "no pain, no gain" attitude. Instead, we are a supportive, nurturing environment with the aim to meet each client exactly where they are. Our hope is to cultivate a community based on empowerment and we are pleased our like-minded team does just that<3
