Rev Indoor Cycling: Rev is one of the first group fitness classes I went to after hearing so many of my friends rave about how awesome it is! At Rev they mainly focus on workouts performed on stationary bikes, but they also offer Rev-X classes which are workouts designed off the bike that involve strength circuit training and conditioning. For Rev cycling classes, you’re set up in a dark room with blue low dim lights which is great if you don’t want everyone to see how much you’re about to sweat! Rev is great because the classes are designed so that you are in complete control of your workout. You decided your pace and resistance on the bike while the instructor encourages you to push it to your max, like all good teachers do ;)
Oh! And I almost forgot to mention, they offer great student discounts!!

Queen City Yoga: Ahhh finally, saving the best for last! Queen City Yoga is my own personal favorite fitness classes that I’ve ever attended. I could go on and on forever about how this workout is unlike one I’ve ever done before. Queen City offers a variety of classes from Hot Yoga Essentials to Inferno Hot Pilates Plus. The state of the art heated studios provides their customers with the most effective and therapeutic fitness class they can find. If you’re not sweating from the moment you walk into the room, you’re most definitely sweating out any stress or worries you had by the end of the class. My favorite class is the Inferno Hot Pilates Class because I’ve honestly never sweat so much in my life! Personally, I think pilates is an underrated workout that doesn’t receive enough credit. But trust me, by the end of this workout you’ll be feeling rejuvenated, strong, healthy and capable. With professionally trained and motivating teachers, a class at Queen City truly becomes a unique and incomparable experience! Be sure to check out their amazing deals such as their 30 day trial for only $30.
