First, you may have noticed that we have made a change to our class terminology in our retail area. You will no longer see the words 'drop in' associated with any of our class purchase options. You will instead find 'Single BarSculpt/Mat Class' and 'Single Reformer Class.' This is in an effort to create a more clear path from purchase to practice. Meaning, we are encouraging you to sign up in advance for your classes. This not only guarantees you a spot in class, but makes you more likely to attend, encourages others to attend, and makes your arrival to class smoother....

Wow! What an amazing start to the second half of 2016. Over the almost 10 years I've been in business this is not the first time I am caught speechless with the endless dedication, encouragement and absolute support to my business, employees and now expansion.

My top five reasons why we should all add personal training to our routines, even if we're already going to classes. 1) Private (personal) training is the best way to ensure proper form and technique. While we do our very best to ensure we are providing you with this during your classes, there is no substitute for having a person by your side providing you immediate feedback based on your own body. Your instructor pays attention and cues both your mind and your body making sure you are doing each exercise correctly and as effectively as possible. It is advice you can take with you, as well. Because every body is different, we all need help...

Hi! I hope you are having a good winter! I am reaching out today because an organization I care deeply about needs our help. There are two local organizations that are close to my heart, and worthy of me sending out emails asking for help/support/donations. The first is Maine Cancer Foundation, because CANCER. The other is Maine Roller Derby for lots of little reasons that maybe aren't as big as the word cancer, but are a pretty big deal. To bring you up to speed, my league has been presented with an opportunity to purchase the building that houses Happy Wheels Skate Center...

GIVE IT UP FOR THE GRAVY! Well folks, it is upon us again, that season that Leslie likes to refer to as the “season of gravy”. Its time for turkeys, trimmings and family gatherings: a time when most Americans can gain anywhere from 5­ 10lbs in a 2 month timespan. To offer up a little help to combat Grandma’s Gut Busting Gravy I offer up a gluten­free and potentially dairy­free (if you are into that kind of thing) solution. Here is a Health Coach Laurel Approved Gravy recipe, the one I make for my very own people. Ingredients   2 Tablespoons of Butter...

Our entire studio is very Pilates-based, it may be appropriate to describe it as a type of 'functional training' (but let us be clear, it is not physical therapy) as the goal, for the most part, is in the movements that we use and helping clients to connect to those movements. Whether it is Pilates, BarSculpt, Yoga, or basic strength training, the goal is to move the body in a balanced and mind-connected way. While we can help with weight loss and other fitness related goals, the training always begins by training the client in movement (based on their needs) and then...
