Saturday/adult option
When the Palenville drive makes sense.
We don't pretend it's around the corner. The Saturday morning class is an excellent option for adults who want to train without fighting weekday traffic up the mountain.
Private coachingA cleaner first step.
Private coaching can be scheduled at times that align better with your travel, allowing you to gauge the fit before trying a group class.
Is the mountain drive worth it?
Start with a Free Intro or a Saturday/private option before committing. Ensure the routine works for your family before enrolling in a full term.
Arrival buffer: do not rush the mountain drive
Give yourself an arrival buffer so the first visit does not feel rushed. Use Main Street parking first, nearby side streets if needed, and arrive early. Look for Studios on Main, and head upstairs.
