There are many ways to get your fitness in each week, or even daily, but finding something you thoroughly enjoy doing while staying active can be tough. But little did you know, there’s a class out there for you.
There are different classes offered all around the city, from boxing to zumba to yoga to pilates and so many more. Finding a class you consistently go to each week, and enjoy it, is a difficult task. However, there are so many unique classes you can do and not even feel like you are working out.
Downtown Magazine put together a list of 5 workout classes that sculpt and tone your body using movements from pilates and ballet.
