Class was great! It was a long workout with a big group in before, but Ashley did a perfect job of setting expectations around a quick warmup before hand, checking in individually with everyone, and introducing me and someone else doing their first class to the rest of the members.

I do not see Coach Ashley on the list above, but her classes are always fun! She always explain into detail what the workouts are, as well as going over movements. The prescribed warm up movements are always a plus!! It’s not listed on the programming so ensuring warm ups are conducted prior to the strength portion of the workout is outstanding! She always makes the class fun by allowing members to share something personal about themselves. It really brings the class together and allow members to get to know each other. It also allow new members to feel comfortable and welcomed. Coach Ashley constantly walks around the room to watch form and technique while cheering them on during heavy lifts.
