The courses take advantage of all the epic challenges a professional sports stadium has to offer, including thigh-searing stairs, sprint-worthy turf, and more push-up spots than you can fathom. Basic Training's experienced, motivating instructors won't make you march in step, salute them, or shave your head, but they will push you hard. They're athletes themselves who know how to help you meet your goals for a 10K, marathon, or pinewood derby. Plus, they'll teach you proper body mechanics and why and how each exercise works.

Miami Life Center's cadre of patient practitioners coach students through intensive Ashtanga classes with attention to detail that earned the studio recognition as Miami New Times' Best Yoga Studio in 2008. Amid frosted windows and gleaming hardwood floors, pupils fortify spinal alignments and hone concentration with methodical breathing and gentle postures in basic Ashtanga classes. Gentle Therapeutics yoga methodically strengthen sinews with the aid of bolsters, resistance straps, and chairs to refresh fatigued muscles and boost balance. Additionally, expectant mothers may ease into therapeutic poses including sun salutations and celebratory stork high-fives with relaxing prenatal yoga sessions. The studio's flexible lineup of classes includes weekend and late-night class times to accommodate pupils with busy schedules or raccoons who need a peaceful retreat from unruly graveyard block parties.
