It Figures

When I moved to the Far Northeast a.k.a the Land of Nothing, I thought I was doomed to a membership at LA Fitness or Planet Fitness. For 5 (!) years I drove past the tiny little sign that said Zumba and Yoga, dismissing it as a Curves knock-​off. Boy oh boy, was I wrong. I decided to give yoga a try when I saw a Groupon for Yoga and Zumba classes at It Figures. I arrived at the beginners class on Monday and was greeted by Paula, the yoga instructor, who introduced me to another member of the class– everyone was so nice and happy to have a new face in class. Paula’s style embraces the physical and mental aspects of the practice of yoga. The range of ages are from late teens to one woman who is in her 70s! I haven’t taken any of the other classes like tabata and body pump but they look awesome and are always full of the same faces. Did I mention that it is so, so, so affordable? $ 6 for yoga, other classes are included with a membership. Check it out– it’s an amazing women’s gym filled with ladies of all ages and no judgment.
