THE STORY OF
CLASS
WHAT MAKES US DIFFERENT
CLASS was created to provide training that makes sense. Our programming is designed to promote life-long lifestyle changes and sustainable results with our primary focus being on strength training.
​
In addition to this, most fitness boutiques (coed and female oriented) pride themselves on high-intensity, high calorie burn, and/or high heart rate style training. Which has become a major red flag to exercise physiologists especially for the female body.
​
This is why our Classes are designed primarily around building strong, lean muscle mass to promote whatever our members fitness goals may be. With supplementary cardio days and a variety of intensity within our Classes, our programming still provides the higher intensity training within moderation to avoid injury, over-training, and plateaus or burn out.
MEET OUR FOUNDER
Hi Everyone! My name is Paige and I am the Owner & Founder of CLASS Fitness & Training. I created CLASS with the intention to make a difference in women's fitness. I started CLASS in September of 2023 with a burning drive to make a change in the fitness industry and nothing left to lose (literally).
​
I graduated from the University of Kansas, where I studied Psychology, Business, and dipped my feet into exercise science. I was on the path to my Master's Degree when my career in fitness put my graduate studies to an end. Now, with over 8 years of experience in the fitness industry, including personal training, to studio management, to regional management & much more, I've seen a thing or two and still have so much to learn.
During my career, I have been a part of several types of facilities, from "big box" gyms, to start ups, to world-wide franchises. All of which, seemed to have the same motive, and same icky, corny feel. I couldn't wrap my head around the fact that there is evidence in literature against consistently training at many well- known brands, and yet we were supposed to sell the idea that it was the best thing to ever happen in fitness. I do believe there are benefits to all styles of training, however, I couldn't stand how little the fitness industry actually supports the tremendous benefits of strength training for women.
I couldn't stand to be a part of something I didn't believe in anymore, so I decided to do it myself. I sold my home that I had bought just a few months before and took a risk with no support from family or investors and opened CLASS just 6 months later.
​
My goal is for CLASS to be a safe space for women to be authentically themselves. A place that is not only "for women" but is actually FOR WOMEN. A safe space for trainers to coach and for women to achieve their goals. A place that acknowledges female physiology. ​​​
​
WHY CLASS?
CLASS is not just a studio that markets towards women. Female oriented or "women's only" fitness centers and boutiques are not a ground breaking, new concept, as these types of facilities have been around world-wide since the 1980's. However, we found that there was something missing from the female oriented market.
​
Studies have shown over and over again the life long benefits of strength training, including but not limited to weight management, improved mental health, improved bone density, and more. There is all of this data and a scarcity of studios designed to educate and coach women in a safe environment solely based on strength training. ​
​
and that's why we created CLASS.
​
Whether you are brand new and just beginning your fitness journey, or an experienced pro, CLASS is the place for you.
