“When I started taking your classes, I was in a serious rut and needed a jumpstart. Your class was a lifeline to get me back on track. Starting that class was pivotal and motivated me to make other healthy changes. And, as advertised, I did have my best ski season ever!”

Testimonials

“I’ve always found that your classes gave me the edge to stay healthy and avoid injury while improving my fitness.  I found I’d always have that extra 10% I needed to make it up the final steep pitch or switch back on a long climb.  It gave me the strength and balance to improve my technique for both alpine and Nordic skiing. I felt like even if I wasn’t running, biking, skiing or whatever it was at the time as consistently as I hoped, that your classes helped maintain my fitness such that I could still get it done! I’ve loved the camaraderie amongst the group, the laughs and the advice along the way.  Your classes never lost their challenge and always met my needs.”
