Student Spotlight – March 2017

By Fitness One Comment

The focus for March for the 2017 Challenge is Strength Training & our goal is to get at least 2 days of strength training in every week. We have a lot of strong women to choose from, but I couldn’t think of a better person to highlight than Melissa Hill. Melissa has been really consistent with her strength training since she started at Pacific Strength back in 2009. She has made HUGE strength gains in that time & everyone loves when Melissa’s in class – she encourages everyone who trains with her to push it to the next level. Here’s what Melissa had to say…

YBR Hip Opening Workshop

By Fitness No Comments

Join us at the studio this Saturday, March 12th at 11am for a 90-minute in-depth look at the hip joints with Kim Fitzgerald. From Kim: This class offers a very deep workout to improve flexibility and range of motion in your hips.  This class reaches deep into your hip joints, accessing tight and worn out areas you might not be aware of, while also freeing your hips of restriction. The hips are one of the most used and troubling joints in the body, bringing tightness and stiffness with age. It doesn’t have to be that way- integrating this routine into…

By Fitness, News & Events, Pacific Strength No Comments

What a year it has been, both personally and professionally. So much has happened! At the gym, we hosted two really successful Tactical Strength Challenges. I was so proud of everyone who trained, trusted the process, competed, pr’d, & had fun along the way! The group in April got everyone warmed up to the process. And the October group really got people excited for TSC’s to come! The summer was simultaneously the longest and shortest summer of my life after having Laine in April… Many of you parents can relate to this… I’m so incredibly thankful I was able to spend that time with my…
