I first began…read moreprivate lessons with Alaya; targeting my feet (plantar fasciitis), lower back (previous L4 injury) and neck (bulging disc). She amazed me with her knowledge of the human anatomy and how everything works together. I always feel safe when attending our sessions and the other group classes. My body has not felt this good since my early 20's (40 now)! Chad has designed a great tennis workout for myself and friends using the TRX, Rip Stick and other tools. He has a keen eye for developing exercises that increase your mobility and strength that is needed in specific sports. Iron and Grace is the BEST fitness place and you need to sign up for a class now!

Due to my I & G workouts, I have more energy, I don't have any of the typical pregnancy aches and pains, and I feel invigorated. All of the trainers are excellent and I highly recommend any of the TRX, Kettlebell, or Barre classes. I can't wait to see how quickly my body bounces back after this pregnancy (my third) due to Iron and Grace. So happy I found this place!

She kept an eye on us newbies and the stretches were perfect for experienced or first timers. She even went out while we had a minute of rest time and got a cold lavender cloth to cool down a bit so I could jump right back in when ready. I felt very comfortable at my own pace. Bring a hand towel you will need it. Highly recommend. Thank you April for a great first time experience. I will definitely be back for more. Gwen
