3) News from CenterPointe Studio at 1802 Adams Mill Road, NW, lower level
CenterPointe

It's hot outside and things are really heating up in the Studio! Our family of athletes is growing by leaps and bounds (... or is that by squats and cleans?).
Our promise to you is an incredible fitness experience that doesn't compromise on personal attention or innovation. We're happy to introduce some more coaches, additional classes, and new 7am and 6pm Private Training availability.
Yoga & Mobility //
The Perfect Addition to Functional Strength & Conditioning
Join
Sarah Hull
for CenterPointe's
Yoga & Mobility class
Fridays at 6pm and Sundays at 9:30am.
Regular yoga practice will give athletes the general mobility, positional awareness, and focused commitment needed to stay on track during challenging private training sessions and in an intense program like Raise the Bar. Even if your workouts don’t currently involve gymnastics, sprinting or Power and Olympic lifting, yoga will help you move and feel better.
How?
Yoga increases range of motion (ROM)
Looking to develop a deeper squat? Gain a bigger kip on the pull-up bar? How about improved posture and less back pain? Spending time working from core to extremity in classic poses such as Downward Dog, Lizard and Extended Side Angle will increase shoulder and hip mobility and stability.
Yoga improves balance
Aiming for weighted pistols? Want to hold a handstand without a partner or a wall holding onto you? Yoga’s emphasis on single leg movements (such as Tree or Dancer) and arm balances (like Crow and Forearm Stand) will help you become more grounded with one or both feet off the ground.
Yoga allows you to relax while being active.
What other workout has a built-in naptime? Beyond Savasana, yogis find rest through alignment and deep flexibility in poses like Headstand, Wheel and Child’s Pose.
Private Training //

You need to get in before work; we're here for you.
We've created more space (by decreasing class sizes and moving equipment) and added more prime-time spots.
