Whether you’ve never worked out a day in your life and are looking to start exercising or you’re in a fitness rut and want to try something new, we’re here to help you embrace being a beginner and find the best type of workout for you. Working out does NOT have to be dreadful, so if you’re slogging away on the treadmill thinking you want to fling yourself off it, we’re here to give you permission to find an entirely different way of moving your body that feels fun and empowering to you.

If you’ve been too intimidated to try a spin class or confused by what the deal with HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training) is, we’re here to help clear up the myths, give you simple tips to get started, and remind you that yes, you can tackle whatever new workout you want. Click on any of the links below to jump to the beginner’s guide that you’re most interested in.
