Fitness classes at Free Hearts

We believe fitness should be balanced, not one-dimensional.
Our multi-format approach blends strength, cardio, and mindful movement like Pilates, yoga, and barre—so you can build strength, improve endurance, and support stability in a way that feels sustainable, complete, and uniquely you. Every class is suitable for all levels. We provide mats for all members, and non members can rent them.
