We are so excited to announce the addition of 2 new trainers: Emily and Gisele! They will both be teaching at our Hermann Park location starting January 12th! Some of you may recognize them because they have taught for us a few times at Sabine Street and they both have a big following in H-Town! Watch out ladies – because when these 2 team up…you are going to get a killer workout!
