Exercise Classes

An excellent birth class that meets you where you're at and will get you feeling fit and confident. Perfect for both beginners and also people who have been training for years. As a massage therapist, I see the difference in people's bodies that even one session a week makes with Maura Shirey. I highly recommend this class. She also offers a getting back to fitness postpartum drop in class where you can also bring your baby.
