Fitness is about more than movement, especially for moms. It’s about loving ourselves right now and being inspired by who we’re becoming so we can pass that along to our family. Burn Boot Camp empowers women to maximize the quality of their lives by building confidence, happiness, and a community of mentally, emotionally and physically strong women. Featuring a constantly-changing mix of cardio, HIIT, and strength training, you never get the same workout twice. Camps are offered multiple times throughout the day, last 45 minutes, and each workout comes with complementary childcare so your kids can learn, play, and grow while you work out.

Owner Henry and his coaches at Crossfit Perception are dedicated to safely training mamas during pregnancy, post-partum and wherever you are in your fitness journey. Lifting heavy weights can be intimidating, but this box is welcoming and supportive for the full family unit. With an on-site, complementary kids room, Crossfit Perception aims to make it as easy as possible for moms to get their workout in. The kids room is well stocked, and even has WiFi and a TV. Our very own contributor, Kira Henning, has worked out here for years, so it’s been tested by our very own and her four kiddos, giving it their stamp of approval.
