4 tips to get the most out of your group fitness experience!

A common question I get from new clients is, “What class should I take if I have never been to your studio before?” At Flex Studios we completely understand wanting to get the full benefit of a group fitness class when you are not an expert on they type of class or maybe not the most body aware in general. Here we have structured all of our programs to have a small class size. This allows the instructor to be able to see every person/body in the room and give hands on adjustments. At FLEX we are…

Clean Beauty Products from Claire!

I’ve been an athlete my whole life and used to think I was pretty “healthy.” But when I went to college my diet and lifestyle went off track without the structure that competitive swimming provided. Once I gained my Freshman 20+ pounds, I started crash diets with zero success. Flash-forward to now: I’m the “lightest” I’ve been in years (physically and mentally) and I’ve connected to my body again.  Like truly connected as in I listen to my body and what it wants. It’s a beautiful thing really, and I can’t believe how many years I…

While it may feel like you want to go jump in a bathtub full of ice, there are more comfortable (and delicious) ways to keep your cool so you can conquer each workout like the FLEX-y rockstar you…
