StudioPB is COOL this summer!

Stay cool at the studio this summer doing exercises that challenge and improve your agility, power, balance, core stability and upper and lower extremity strength!

Summer is the perfect time to start a strengthening program for your fall race(s). StudioPB classes are designed by a physical therapist especially for endurance athletes: cyclists, runners and triathletes. Quality of movement is stressed in these classes. Our early summer session begins this Sunday, May 29th.

Enrollment is open as long as space is available.
