MEGA Fitual / VIBE
What is it you love about The Fitual/teaching at The Fitual?
The people! It really does feel like a big family at The Fitual. Every day members and instructors come early and stay late after class just to catch up with each other about life in and out of the studio, sharing ideas and experiences, exchanging numbers and grabbing coffees to keep the conversations going and nurturing into lifelong friendships. It’s such a supportive and welcoming environment every damn day!
Advice to a first-timer?
Come 15 minutes early so we can get you familiar with the equipment and the studio, and also so we can get to know you! Any previous or current ailments or mobility issues are important for us to know about so we can customize your class experience and avoid any further injury…oh and also, I just love to yap so come hang out with me for a bit before!
What is your favourite Mega move and Vibe move? Why?
Mega: Side Lunge – when you get the form just right they’re quick to bring the fire, and so many fun variations!
Vibe: Push ups – they engage multiple muscle groups, there are so many ways to mix them up / make them interesting, and let’s face it, you feel like a baddie after crushing a bunch of push ups!
What can one expect from your class?
Mega: A lot of fun and a lot of legs!
Vibe: a high focus on working through muscle groups one at a time, and a 90% chance of pushups.
