The True40® Studio method is a fusion of high-intensity, low-impact strength training that is inspired by barre, functional resistance training, Pilates, and yoga. Classes range from 45-60 minutes and offer both optional modifications and optional challenges, so that you can move in a way that is true to YOUR body. This means that our classes are also safe for pregnancy, postpartum, and injury-recovery. Through empowering instructors, and movements tailored to the beat of the music, the True40® Studio method is a true celebration of movement. While each True40 class has the same setup and design, the specific exercises targeting different areas of the body will vary. Our True40 instructors each bring a different energy and personality to every class they teach!

Our True40 Fusion class is 60 minutes long, our True40 Express class is 50 minutes long, and our True40 Cardio class is 45 minutes long.

Check your local studio’s page to learn about parking or other studio-specific details. Please arrive 15 minutes before class to fill out new client paperwork, get settled, and meet the team! Your instructor will help you set up and make sure you feel prepared for class. Sticky socks are required and for sale at your studio boutique if you need some. Each studio has water fountains and offers water for sale, in case you forget your water bottle. The studios offer hand towels for those sweaty moments. 

True40 is meant for all fitness levels, body types, life seasons, and ages! We thoughtfully program our classes to work opposing muscle groups, improving strength and mobility throughout the entire body, in a safe manner. Our instructors are trained to offer variations and modifications to meet your specific needs. Whether you’re working out for the first time, coming back after a hiatus, pregnant or postpartum, or returning to activity post-injury, you’ll be able to tailor the workout to meet you where you are. 

If you have an injury, we advise that you consult with your doctor to make sure fitness is an appropriate step in your recovery. Please inform the instructor of your injury before class, so you can talk through the right modifications. Listen to your body! 

The True40 Studio method is safe for pregnant and postpartum women. If you’re pregnant or postpartum, we encourage conversations with your physician to ensure that our classes are appropriate. Prior to class, talk to your instructor about where you are, so they can offer modifications and things to keep in mind. If something doesn’t feel right, listen to your body, and ask an instructor for further clarification. 

We recommend wearing anything you feel comfortable moving and bending in. Sticky socks are required and available for purchase in the studio boutique.

Each studio has accessible parking. Check your local studio’s page for specific information. 

Each True40 Studio offers childcare - we are passionate about helping our mamas take time for themselves! True40 employees all hold CPR certification, and our childcare staff has experience with children of all ages. Childcare is available for a nominal fee. In the studio’s play space, your child can play with toys, puzzles, read, or do homework. For the safety of your little one, we limit childcare capacity. We welcome children ages 6 weeks to 10 years old. Check with your local studio for pricing and booking processes.

Currently, the only location that offers a shower is downtown Birmingham. 

The national recommendation for exercise states that for major health benefits, you should perform at least 2 hours and 30 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic activity each week and include muscle-strengthening activities 2 or more days a week. True40 workouts are low-impact and are safe for every day. We recommend 3-4 classes a week, but the more you come, the faster you will see results!

True40 classes will lengthen and tone your muscles, boost your energy, and increase your confidence. You will notice an increase in strength in your legs, arms and core, tightening and lift in your glutes, and improvement in your overall posture and balance. You’ll also feel more body aware. 

What we hear most from our clients is that after consistently taking True40 classes they sleep better, feel less stressed, have better posture, feel more energized and experience lessened symptoms of any injuries/ailments.

TRX stands for Total Body Resistance Exercise. TRX suspension straps are part of each class, and use your body weight against gravity to fire the entire body and produce a major calorie burn! They are a versatile piece of equipment you will use throughout class. You’ll build core strength to stabilize your body through each exercise.
