We were blown away when we hired hd fitness. From Boston to New Hampshire they will travel to you. She came and set up trapeze and three different stations. There was something for everybody.

Yoga East brings excellent workshops, yoga celebs and programs to Portsmouth. And it's not about ego.

I can't say enough positive about Barre and Soul! I am a seasonal resident of Portsmouth (May-Oct),…read moreso I was concerned about finding a strength training/fitness program for myself which was challenging but also sensitive to a chronic knee injury. From the first moment I walked through the door into the studio in 2018, I was warmly welcomed and cared for - each barre instructor I've had the pleasure of working with has asked me if I had injuries and has diligently watched my posture to ensure I didn't aggravate existing, or create new issues. The classes are a wonderful mix of intense strength training using light weights, bands and balls, combined with yoga stretches and breathing. Each instructor is very knowledgeable and well-trained, caring and personality-plus. The physical studio is in a lovely spot downtown and is open, light and airy - a perfect spot to push yourself physically while remaining centered and calm. I only wish I could find something even a fraction this great in my winter home. I highly recommend Barre and Soul.
