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. Dana

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! Dana Studio Owner Over three years ago we opened our doors to offer Philly a few new workouts! Every year since, we've seized opportunities to improve in ways that would benefit our amazing clients. Whether it's more types of workouts, more class times, more props to use in class, more rewards, upgrades or perks... we never stop looking for ways to bring you more! We were committed to holding our day-one prices for our clients for our first few years! With year four, it's time for us to make an update. We know every dollar is valuable and we will always run our studio in a way that allows us to keep prices as low as possible without ever diminishing the workout experience you get from us!
