How lunge fitness is different
Lunge Fitness is a growing fitness studio serving the greater Woodbury and western Connecticut regions. Through group training and individual programs, you will learn proper form and movement to ensure that weight training, aerobic and anaerobic circuit training and cardiovascular training are effective.
Since its inception, Lunge Fitness has been designed to help attain fitness goals by connecting the body and mind through knowledge. We are not a low membership warehouse gym with rows of cardio machines; we are not your typical group X class. We educate and empower our clients to make each gym workout worth it.
