Class Schedule
We currently have private groups using the fitness studio at this time. You will frequently see dancers, wrestlers and other athletes and kids coming & going from the fitness studio. We also have options for booster clubs or adults to rent our fitness space. If you or a group of your fitness friends would like to use the space together, please contact us if this is something you are interested in!
Coming soon!
2025 summer sessions for the EVOLVE program, plus 1:1 options for 9-12th athletes, and off-season wrestling and dance sessions!
Types of Classes Offered:
Athleticism Training:
We follow the approach of Long Term Athletic Development (LTAD). Each stage has specific goals for skills taught, and each stage is connected to one another with a common plan & common outcome measures. Our goal is to “evolve” a solid foundation for athletic excellence, where these skills can then be combined with sport specific technique instruction to excel in many different arenas of athletics! The best part of all is that what we are teaching will serve our students well beyond just athletics. These skills are the foundation to lifelong healthful habits both physically and mentally.
We teach age-appropriate exercises & proper form to build strength, as well as incorporating exercises to improve body/spatial awareness, balance, hand-eye coordination, agility, footwork & flexibility. These skills help kids get stronger, jump higher and run faster! Last, but definitely not least, we focus on grit, self-discipline, effort, and learning how to work through the mental aspects of sports.
Youth: Our EVOLVE program was started in 2021 to bring fitness to the kids in our community. We offer several sessions each year for K-2nd & 3-6th aged kids. We have also previously offered EVOLVE 2.0 sessions for 7-8th graders and are looking at bringing those back for 2025.
High School: High school students can work with Jennie 1:1 or in a small group. Your movement patterns will be assessed and your goals reviewed. Jennie will give you a plan to work toward these goals & oversee the process. Please contact us if you would like to learn more.
We look forward to working with your kids!

He also joined the cross country team his senior year to challenge himself and try something new.
Dan loves being active in his free time as well. He often can be found at a disc golf course, or playing a pick-up game of just about anything. Finding the balance of work and play needed for high-achieving academics & athletics has made Dan an excellent role model for our young athletes.

Ben knows the work and dedication it takes to achieve high goals, and how to try to create some fun in the process.
