Fitness often feels like a chore we need to fit in. But it doesn’t have to…
The benefits of movement consist of far more than the body image changes we’re often told about.
Moving our bodies in a healthy way can increase endorphin levels and improve cardiovascular health among other things. But it can be hard to find time and motivation to do this in an often busy schedule, and hard to find the right movement that works best for your body. That’s why we have arranged for both individual and group classes with Valarie to give you the spark, motivation, and support you need to get started. Classes are offered with a drop in option or 6 class passes. Drop in classes are $25. Check out our packages for special pricing! Start any time! Call (616) 600.4950 if you have questions.
Please note: CDC COVID-19 guidelines will be closely monitored and followed. Proof of vaccination will be required. We will continue to update policies as allowed for Health care facilities per CDC recommendations.
*Yoga mats available for rent for $2.50
*Individual Training with Val also offered. Call 616.600.4950 for details!
