Yoga With Bri
Our gym offers yoga on the weekends with our very own Bri! Bri has been teaching yoga for 10 years. Originally she was interred to teach so she could guide her parents through practice. Instantly, she fell in love with teaching and all of the benefits that yoga has to offer. She has taught in various studios and her last studio had closed during Covid. Tony graciously opened up the gym for Bri to continue to offer classes to all of the CFFP community.
Bri teaches all levels of vinyasa flow, where we connect the mind, body and breath with the flowing sequence. She teaches from the ground up and offers a variety of variations, making class accessible to everyone.
If you plan to attend one of Bri’s classes, just remember to bring your mat! All classes are fun, light-hearted, and open to all.
This month, Bri’s classes will be offered on 4/6 and 4/27 at 8:30am
Hope to see you there!

Have You Tried the InBody?
The InBody machine, located near the bathrooms of the gym, provides people with the opportunity to better understand their body. The InBody is an easy and non-invasive body composition test that takes less than a minute to complete. After the InBody test, you will have information about fat, muscle, and water levels. This information allows you to track your progress with a print out sheet or by downloading the app. If you need help understanding your InBody results or need guidance on changes to make, please talk to Tony.
Tips for completing the InBody:
Measure yourself before working out
Take shoes and socks off
If possible, complete on an empty stomach in the morning
