The lineup includes two dance-based classes (one is perfect for choreography junkies), a trampoline workout, and basement boxing with bumping music.

Emily Dempsey

Her pick: AKT Bands Classes
Why she likes it: Prepare to sweat like never before in this interval training class where cardio and strength training come together as you switch off between bands and a box. The studio is rooted in spreading positive energy so the good vibes you leave with are an extra perk.

Monica Dimperio

Her pick: Overthrow Boxing Burnout Classes
Why she likes it: If you hate cardio but know you need a kick-ass work to add to your sculpting routine sign up for their Burnout Class. The music is awesome and it’s so fast-paced you forget you’re doing burpees. Bonus: Hitting the bag is a HUGE stress reliever.
