The True40 Fusion Class: Not Just a Strength Workout

Our method, the True40 Fusion Class, blends together high-intensity, low-impact strength training that is inspired by barre,  functional resistance training, Pilates, and yoga. It is meant for all fitness levels, ages, and body types. Our classes can be an outlet for you in all different stages of life.

What is the True40 Method

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. 

We intentionally craft our workout program to include cardio training, strength workouts, and mobility exercises. You will raise your heart rate and participate in a cardio workout, enjoy the benefits of strength training, the benefits of low impact exercises, and build strength and endurance.

What to expect at a True40 Fusion Class

• When you arrive, you’ll receive a warm welcome from our team. 
• Your instructor will help you set up your station with all necessary equipment: TRX straps, a set of light and heavy free weights, a ball, a pair of gliders, and a mat. 
• Your instructor will ask you about any injuries or things they need to know prior to class.  
• You’ll be joined by a community of friendly clients that are always open to chat and get to know you. 
• Once class starts, you’ll enjoy an upbeat playlist, and class is generally taught to the beat of the music. 
• The instructor offers modifications and challenges for each exercise, so you can scale the workout to your needs that day.
• The instructor offers hands-on adjustments to ensure you get the most out of each posture. 
• Class begins with a low-impact cardio warmup, followed by leg work you would find in a traditional barre class. Then you transition to our full-body resistance training portion, using a combination of light and heavy weights, TRX straps, and bodyweight to strengthen your muscles. Glute work follows and is set up like a barre workout. Our core work includes exercises you might find in a mat Pilates class, then we cool down with a yoga-inspired flow. 
• After class you’ll clean your equipment using a wipe your instructor passed out and put it away.
• We ask that you do not bring a phone into the studio. We have showers and changing areas for you to freshen up before returning to your day.

How to prepare for your first Fusion Class

• Arrive at the studio 15 minutes prior to class so you can meet the team, fill out new client paperwork, and get set up for class. 
• We require sticky socks for class. If you don’t have any, each location has some to rent or purchase. 
• We recommend bringing water, but if you forget, we have water bottles for purchase or free water fountains!
• We provide all equipment, including mats. 
• You will leave your phone, shoes and all other belongings in provided lockers or cubbies. 
• If you need to leave class early, we ask that you leave your equipment without wiping it down so you don’t distract other clients. 
• If you need to shower after class, bring a change of clothes. We provide shampoo and conditioner,  a hair dryer, Q-tips, deodorant, dry shampoo, and mirrors.

Who is the Fusion Class For?

We have clients as young as high school students, all the way into their 70s! While we have mostly women clients, we welcome everyone. Because we offer modifications and challenges for all of the exercises, you can do this workout pregnant, postpartum, post-injury, or after not working out for a while (or ever!). Because we are a low impact workout, we are a safe option to continue over time.

Benefits of True40 Method

We are a fitness studio that believes in offering a scientifically sound workout that is accessible to all. We thoughtfully program our classes to work opposing muscle groups, which will build strength and mobility throughout the body. We strive to connect you with your body, creating body awareness and appreciation of movement. 

We always begin our classes with a sweaty, dynamic warmup to safely prepare your body for class, while revving your heart rate and setting an intention. Throughout class, we focus on core strength, building from the body’s foundation. We combine small movements, isometric holds, and large range movements to build elasticity, strength, endurance, and mobility throughout class. We program our classes in a way that intentionally continues the burn long after you leave the studio. We come back to ourselves at the end of class with a yoga-inspired stretch to find complete balance mentally, spiritually, and physically. 

You’ll leave feeling empowered, encouraged, and powerful. In tune with the highest and best version of you. 
We are not just a strength workout, a barre class, or a Pilates workout. We are a low impact workout that fuses together our favorite (and most impactful) components from these different formats.
