"Be True (Fusion) To Your Gym..."

 
Bags and Kettlebells in Boxing Class

If you've read any of my previous posts, you know I'm always up for trying a new workout. I'm pretty consistent with my strength training, and since the advent of "boutique fitness" studios, I've had a lot of fun trying out everything from HIIT studios to Cycle studios to boxing classes. And as much as I wanted to work in yoga, barre, and pilates, memberships to a bunch of studios gets really pricey!


 I started seeing Instagram posts about a place offering a variety of classes; yoga, cycling, Pilates, kettlebell, barre, bootcamp, boxing, battleropes, and TRX.  But I was most intrigued by the positivity of the posts. In reading about TruFusion's philosophy: "like-minded individuals...feeding off of each other, but in a positive way... not..who can lift more or who looks more fit", I wanted to see for myself.


And it's amazing! There's a vast diversity of classes that offer a combined variety of  fitness styles. You can take a boxing class with bags and battleropes that adds yoga moves in the warm up and cool down, a hot pilates class with high intensity cardio bursts, a circuit class with kettlebells , TRX, sandbags, ropes and bodyweight exercises, all levels of hot yoga and barre, and,oh yeah, spinning classes too.

I love every class I've taken and I've definitely gone outside of my comfort zone. I'm pretty sure that I'm one of the more seasoned members (aka OLDER), but I have felt welcomed from the start. People are friendly, but no nonsense. We are there to workout and I've gotten some of the best workouts of my life since joining.

And have yet to have an instructor in any of the classes who didn't kick my butt. I used to build my workout schedule around when certain instructors were teaching, but it's not like that at TruFusion. Everyone who teaches there knows their stuff, and they all make a tough workout something I really can't wait to do.


They have studios in Nevada, Texas, California, Washington, Arizona, and right here in St. Louis.
The monthly membership is so reasonable considering all of the classes and times offered, and if you are at all considering checking it out, they have an amazing New Year's offer.



Don't mess with Lori !






It's called PAY THE DATE, and that's exactly what it means. Starting January 1st, you can join for 30 days for $1, on the 2nd, $2, 3rd, $3, andso on for the entire month of January.
Honestly, it's even better than ClassPass. 
And more than likely,you'll be hooked after 1 month!
