“I love the classes. I have taken BootCamp, core & power playground (both regular and BURN). I love that bootcamp is all levels, so if I am not feeling high–energy, I can get a great workout but not overdo it. I love the pace of the Power Playground workouts and love that BURN is the next-level intermediate/advanced class. It feels like the best way to take it to the next level is once you have taken several power playground classes and are ready for a challenge. I will still take the regular power playground class but BURN is a great way to get more.” – Becca S
