Classes and tutorials to learn about training, feel confident using new equipment and build your strength.
Most people are a lot stronger than they think they are, they just need some help getting there. Our classes and programs will help you progress to heavier weights, build up your capacity and learn how to tune in, to help you go further in your training.
With our tailored classes that prioritize strength-building, muscle/bone mass development, cardio, and recovery, we offer a compelling alternative to grueling fitness regimens that can leave you feeling depleted.
“The Mindful Strength Membership classes always leave me feeling fantastic! A great approach to strength, mobility, and full-body movement. Highly recommend for just about anyone.”
– Jessica Tateishi
