Want to mix things up?!

Fitness is a part of our daily life for our entire life... so making it fun and keeping it fresh is a must. We're passionate about bringing you different, interesting things to do year-after-year. And we're excited to refresh our sculpting class line-up this summer to give you ongoing variety and new props!

Here's your summer menu of freehouse mat classes! Each one features unique props and moves to give you the most balanced and creative sculpting experience possible. Pair these up with our rebounding classes and you'll have more workouts than there are days in the week!

Bandit. Our original freehouse class created 3 years ago with a unique band set-up and workout design. Using 15-20lb elastic resistance bands for almost the entire class, you'll sculpt, strengthen and tone from every side. As you move the bands to different hooks throughout class you'll work asymmetrically and laterally more than any other type of strength training workout to build core strength and sculpt your side-body muscles.

Burnout. NEW! A higher-intensity (more advanced) class using props that instantly challenge your muscles to the max through extreme instability and high resistance. Featuring unique Balanced Body suspension ropes, you'll pull and push against gravity in creative ways that can be both fun and oh-so-hard, in a classic freehouse format! Then using 7-9lb dumbbells, heavy ankle weights or a glider, you'll build major strength everywhere. This class will make you more coordinated and connected to every muscle in your body. 

Triple Shot. UPDATED! A three part class that packs a punch for your lower body muscles. Starting with nonstop full-body movements, you'll lunge, sumo and more with added 3lb weights. Then using a freestanding vertical bar (more challenging than wall mounted bars) be prepared for additional leg balancing moves! Finally class winds down on the mat with a large pilates ball that helps targets every angle of your abs as you bend, twist and flex into the ball for concentrated toning.

Powerhouse (Pilates) NEW! This class flows through the traditional pilates choreography that is renowned for improving strength and flexibility. Then in true freehouse fashion, we layer in extra challenges using the pilates magic circle, light weights and resistance bands. Expect a low-intensity workout that energizes you, eases aches and pains, makes you feel more flexible and centered.

Warrior (Yoga) A strengthening yoga class that utilizes light weights and/or reels in a powerful vinyasa flow to strengthen and tone within each yoga pose, while simultaneously improving your balance and flexibility. Then you'll utilize the freehouse studio bands for a final sculpting series and finish with a gentle flow and savasana. This class is easy to love and gets raves from those who don't generally enjoy yoga - along with those who DO!

Want to teach with a well-educated and friendly community of teachers?! 

As we plan our spring/summer schedule, we have a need for 1-2 instructors to join our team, teaching rebounder, sculpting and/or reformer classes. And while teaching experience is a huge plus, we will consider applicants without teaching experience if they are regular freehouse clients who are strong in our workouts, or have a movement/dance background. *Completing the recommended accredited fitness certification would be required for uncertified instructors-in-training.

If you're interested, complete the form below by Sunday, March 10th and email dana@freehousefitness.com with any questions!

My answer however, is usually a redirect to talk about a more relevant factor... the value of variety and changing things up. THAT is what makes the difference between progress and plateaus.

Our bodies are designed to adapt to stressors. Physically and mentally. So after doing a given workout for a while, especially one with repetitive moments or the same 'routine,' we stop seeing any physical changes from these workouts. It's important to know, that doesn't mean the workout isn't benefitting you! Simply put, it means you're in more of a maintenance mode. So if one of your goals is to make specific changes in your physical health, abilities or appearance, you'll have to make a point to change up your workout routine. The changes don't have to be huge though. A little goes a long way.

One of the ways we try to help you with this at freehouse, is by slightly changing our schedule a little every so often. Because we offer lots of workout variety, many clients don't get a chance to take all of our classes on a regular basis. So changing our schedule can help give you access to a class you previously couldn't take and that is instantly beneficial for your body. It can also be helpful to experience a different instructor teaching a class you regularly take because a new teacher can have a unique style or skill set that pushes you in a new way!

For example: If you regularly take High Flyer because you love the nonstop cardio, but then you change to Top Guns or All Star, your body is now going to experience a new challenge that comes from the interval workout style, pushing you to sculpt, balance, lunge or lift in between rounds of jumping. No matter how fit your body is from taking tons of High Flyer classes, Top Guns or All Star will be challenging in a new way and help you experience progress! Or if you used to take Top Guns with Maggie and High Flyer with Amanda, and now you take Top Guns with Sylvia and High Flyer with Erica, these class experiences will be slightly different, and that will make a difference!

So the goal is to maintain balance between doing the workouts that you personally love most, while still having a good amount of variety in your weekly workout routine and not getting stale from doing the exact same classes for months on end. Mix it up! I promise, it's good for you. And ultimately, that is 110% what my team and I are here to offer you... things that are good for you :)

So enjoy and embrace the occasional class change, and go pursue a different workout or teacher once in a while to experience something new. It will pay off!

See you at the studio!

Sign Up: Please email us if you're participating so we can help eliminate hiccups with your double class bookings.

The 2 legit challenge was designed to increase the intensity of your daily workouts and improve your cardiovascular + muscular endurance. And it pushes you to do this several times in a concentrated 2 week period to help your body adapt. Being able to exercise for longer periods of time (in moderation) is tremendously beneficial to your physical health and elevates the results you see from working out! However, working out for longer periods of time should be done with variety in mind. Doing the same workout/movement for more than 45-60 minutes can wear on your joints or be too redundant for noticeable gains. So when planning a double class day, be sure to pick different types of workouts for the maximum benefit!
​

If one freehouse instructor can give you a kick a** rebounding workout, what can two do?!? Well we decided to find out!

During March and April keep an eye out for our High Flyer Tag Team classes popping up around the schedule. A Tag Team class will have 2 rebounding instructors leading you through the entire class, alternating combos, cheering you on, and keeping the intensity at 200%!

Tag Team classes will be scattered around the schedule to hit different days, times and teachers for maximum fun. The regularly scheduled instructor will be listed as usual and you can click on the class description on our MindBody schedule or app to see who the second/guest instructor will be.

Get ready for a crazy good time!

Rebounding fitness emerged in the early 80s and reportedly died down a few years later due to the low quality spring rebounders limiting the workout experience. Then, about 10 years ago Bellicon and JumpSport came onto the market with bungee rebounders and allowed the fitness world to reconnect to this fun form of exercise! Over the past few years (bungee) rebounding has really picked up speed and people are getting to enjoy a ton of benefits from this cool yet challenging form of exercise!

It's important to know though, that the biomechanics of movement plays out differently on a trampoline. Our freehouse classes carefully take this into account in how we created our rebounding workouts. Here are a few highlights:

Giving back, sharing our support and helping to better the world around us is an integral part of our studio's mission. And as part of our fitness family, we want to support you and all of the ways you help make our community a better place.

We see our amazing clients work hard to raise money for their kids' school, further research to fight life-shaking diseases, or help people in the community around us who are struggling in some way. Every little bit helps and we are honored to contribute.

Check out our new Giving Back​ page for details on how we can support you and the amazing things you do. Read about our new beneFIT classes that will be offered the first Sunday of every month and please request a class to support any charitable organizations or causes that are important to you! And reach out to our team if you have any questions.

Thanks for all that you do. And keep sharing the love people.
