This class is designed to get you in great shape--no matter what your current fitness level might be. We will start off slow and focus on the basics such as warming up, using proper form, and reaching your goals. I'll be passing on what I learned with the Marines--to get you in the best shape ever!

I am a former member of a Marine Corps Sniper Team. All of our training was extremely high-level. We routinely ran 5-10 miles daily. We often walked upwards of 25 miles to reach our destination. All of our muscle training was calisthenic in nature (using only body weight). Physical fitness was a daily part of life. I love to help others develop a love for fitness. Reviews
