Fits Do Fitness Class Reviews: Kettlebell Workout at Balance Fitness
By Cool J in MinneapolisI have been taking a kettlebells class about once a week for a few months now. Actually, I think I've been attending pretty consistently since October (right after the Steamtown marathon). Yet even though I'm a regular, I realized that I have only posted about kettlebells once, which was after the first time I did it. (You can read that post HERE). But now that I am a Continue Reading

Thanks for reading Mom!) And I still would recommend it. But my second time Continue Reading

If she had been able to run, I would have just brought her along for a run with the Calhoun Beach Running Club. Instead, I decided to bring her to her first Continue Reading
Fits Do Fitness Class Reviews: Real Ryder Class at Corepower Yoga

But this time, I endured the full 45 minute class, and Continue Reading
Fits Do Fitness Class Reviews: Pure Barre
By JessieBack in October, I posted a short post to share my excitement with regards to a rumor that a Pure Barre was opening soon in Minneapolis (read about it here).And, the time for that opening finally came. The studio had their "soft" opening this week and they offered free classes all week!I signed up with a few run club girls for a 6 am class this past Friday. After my okay experience at Continue Reading
