Workouts are ordered from first to last, top to bottom.
Plan for 2 workouts per week!
Two sessions per week is the targeted pace of the series, but don’t worry if you can only fit one in per week. You will still see gains and benefit; plus remember, you can always run through the sessions again. Remember, muscle growth and body strength happen over time with repeated work!
What are the workouts like?
Most of this series is targeted at the intermediate to advanced class level. The sessions are tailored to be dynamic functional workouts focused on strength, standing balance, muscle movement & memory, along with some balance work and much more.
For the discerning athlete or the weekend running warrior, you’ll find these fit your needs!
What equipment is needed?
This program requires a Reformer, Reformer sitting box, a booty band and hand weights at the least. Having a lighter pair and a heavier pair is ideal. Additional props are used from time to time, links will always be given below each video with equipment used where you can grab some for yourself in case you don’t have that small prop.
What level must I be?
Any level is welcome. Most classes are taught at an intermediate to advanced level but ideas for modification are often given. Do know your body and when you need to adjust for you.

Toning and trimming will be most noticeably felt and seen if you are able to also devote care towards the following pillars:
1. 💧WATER consumption
- Drink excess water. Water flushes out excess toxins, including fat, which are being unloaded into the blood stream when exercising. Move that on and out of your body. Don’t just sweat it to shred it, DRINK up to shed it!
2. 🥑 NUTRITION
- Eat lots of water full fresh fruits and veggies. Choose organic, grass fed proteins, and whole, full fat food every time you can. Protein builds your muscles, fat fuels your brain and healthy hormone function. Stay away as best you can from sodium packed, sugar added, packaged foods and drinks.
3. 😴 SLEEP
- Rest! We can’t say it enough. Your body only cleans house at night, so give it time to effectively do so and you’ll see and feel the difference.
