At any hour of the day, you'll find a lot of laughter around our studio. A lot of jokes and silliness make their way into our lunges and planks. A lot of smiles and joy is mixed into our jumping and sculpting. This is because above all, we believe fitness is an integral part of living a happy life and a way to feel good! We find enjoyment in every movement - even when it burns!

Our studio and our team has a strong belief in exercising with a positive mindset and intention. This means exercise is always a celebration. We focus on what our bodies can do. And while yes, we all want to look our best and know that fitness gets us there, we let that play out in the background rather than making it our focus. And even though fitness is our business and something we center our life around, we don't think you should! Life should be balanced and there are many important things to prioritize. Should fitness be one of them? Absolutely. But will it ebb and flow? Yup. You have a family. You have a career. You have a personal life. You have other aspects of your health and wellbeing to attend to. Make fitness a part of it. But just a part. And when the time comes to prioritize something else over getting a workout in, we support it 200%.

So as we approach another holiday season, yes try to include fitness in each day as much as possible! It will make you happier and healthier. But when other priorities crowd their way to the front of the line, do not beat yourself up about it. Do not feel guilty or lazy. And don't let any gym, studio, business or person tell you that you need to workout extra to 'earn' your holiday meal or 'burn off extra calories.' That's not a healthy approach to fitness or food. Or living life.

One meal or one holiday does not define your healthy life. And your journey is yours to define. Try closing up social media more often than usual during the holiday season. Pay attention to how you feel physically, emotionally and mentally. Seek what will serve you. Set limits. Ask for what you want and need. Be good to yourself and celebrate all that you are capable of!

Happy Holidays with love and gratitude.

It's an 8-day challenge designed to amp up and recharge your workout regimen! It'll help keep you motivated through cold mornings and dark nights. And it's the perfect size challenge to fit into your busy holiday season. Push yourself through an 8 day streak of classes and you'll be feeling SO great afterward!

THE DETAILS. Starting November 15th, pick any 8 days in a row to take class every day, finishing before December 31st. You have the flexibility to pick any 8 day period that works for you...but start early in case you're interrupted and need to try again!

Any freehouse class counts (even free/community classes)! And we highly recommend you change up the classes you take each day so your body has a lot of variety.

To track and submit your classes, there will be SWEAT. EVERY. DAY. challenge cards at the front desk. Fill one out and turn it in when you're done!

THE REWARD. As always, everyone who completes the challenge receives a cool freehouse gift to mark your kick-ass accomplishment. So after sweating and sculpting for 8 days, we're hooking you up with a cool freehouse toiletry bag (for all of your sweaty skin care products) and face towel!

Go book your classes and we'll be cheering you on!

Hi all.

For over three years since our studio opened, we've partnered with ClassPass to make our classes accessible to as many people as possible. We know ClassPass is a convenient option for many people to enjoy classes at multiple studios each month on a smaller scale, and we're a fan of anything that makes fitness easier to incorporate into your life!

On the business side, it's been a rocky journey as ClassPass regularly changes their business practices, pricing strategies, app language, policies and more. We've tried to keep up and maintain accessible classes despite not having a lot of control or input into how they price and offer our classes.

Since the start of the summer, we've had ongoing problems with ClassPass not showing or offering available spots in our classes on a consistent basis. We have nonstop technical problems and difficulty getting customer service or tech support to resolve them.

We were also recently informed we will no longer be able to request a limit to the cost of our classes to ensure our clients are not charged too much. ClassPass now requires 'dynamic pricing'  where they have total discretion over the cost of our classes and can charge more than it would cost you to purchase from us directly if their algorithm considers a class to be high demand where they can charge their members more credits.

At this time, we want to make sure our clients know that if you try to book classes with us through ClassPass, the availability may be limited or inconsistent. And the pricing you are offered by ClassPass will be erratic and sometimes more expensive than buying a package with us directly. We're so sorry we have no control over this. 

We are deeply frustrated and disappointed that our ClassPass community has to experience these problems. For the time being, we'll maintain our partnership with ClassPass to keep that option open to those who want it. But long term, we're not sure. In the meantime, we want to make sure you know that the best way to access all classes on our schedule at consistently discounted prices is to book through us (packages). And in booking directly you can also access our waitlists, enjoy a shorter 6 hour cancellation windows, and no extra fees for late cancellations or no shows. Overall, it will save you money and help you enjoy more classes!

Please contact myself or my team if you have any questions. And thank you for being a part of our freehouse community!

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!

If one freehouse instructor can give you a kick a** rebounding workout, what can two do?!? Well we decided to find out!  Check out the instructor line-up below and sign-up online!

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!
