A group of people participating in a fitness class in a large room with bright ceiling lights, yoga mats, and bottles of water on the floor, some holding exercise weights above their heads.

In this class, we use weights and movement to:

"Knit" your body together
(In fact, "fit" takes its root from the Old Norse, "to knit," so we can safely say that fitness = knitness).
A simple line drawing of a person sitting on the ground stretching.
Line drawing of an older adult dancing with a hand on their hip, standing in front of a circle with radiating lines. 
Open up joint mobility
Sketch of a spotlight. 
Suss out strength gaps, and fill them

And we do it with tried and true methods for exercising pain-free.

  • I love the creativity, the pace, the exercises, the goofing around mixed with total seriousness … and of course the superb soundtrack and sharing it with a great group of people.

  • Thank you for being the greatest instructor … the confidence that you’ve instilled in me is something that I will never forget!

  • Whether in a class or a private session, Rob is always exceptionally prepared. His programs offer great variety, and he patiently explains every movement until I have mastered it. Even after years of working together, he consistently introduces new movements and finds ways to push me beyond my perceived limits.
