Creed Fitness
I’m a big advocate of training with the attention of longevity, which starts with a proper warm-up and an essential cool-down. That is what first caught my eye with creeds method of 5-7 minute dynamic warm-up, 20-30 minute functional strength, and 6-7 minute cool-down, wrapped up neatly in 45 minute total body blast. The owner Clint Watson (owner) is dedicated to putting the community first “a three stranded cord is not easily broken”, starting a journey to see people over profits from the industry he was seeing.

Fuel Hot Yoga
Nothing warms the soul more than sharing in some hot sweaty yoga. This studio offers a variety of class ranging in level, mixed with breath work, and even called rocket yoga! The story here is one of true resilience and strength. One of the instructors Dustin found himself understanding the true magnitude of the practice both physical and from within after enduring a bike accident; that broke 23 ribs, along with both side of the pelvis, both collarbones, left hip, left shoulder, fractured vertebra, punctured lung, and skull fracture.

Tilt Cycling
Being stationary is boring and stale, which you will not find here at tilt cycling. I high usage of non-traditional equipment such as the RealRyder a bike that leans side to side (probably where it gets the name). Paired up with an energetic atmosphere of lightshows, bass-booming audio, and visual displays. Sounds like the workout version of Coachella.
