Honestly, there is not an aspect I didn’t enjoy about Balancing Hope’s STRENGTHEN & TONE series. I never left class thinking it wasn’t fun! I absolutely love how Hope flawlessly melds circuit training, tabata, and yoga into one session. I have never taken a class like hers and I REALLY hope she does another one soon!

What I admire the most about Hope is how encouraging she is. There is absolutely no judgement from her, nor the environment. She literally has every level of fitness in her classes and is able to cater to each and every level based on their needs. Not only that, she is able to cater to our physical issues as well! Hope is extremely friendly and approachable so I never felt silly or out of place asking for advice about doing an exercise the proper way. You can tell she puts her heart and soul into what she does because the workouts are strategically planned out and fun!

I like that Hope demonstrates multiple skill levels for each exercise so you can feel good about working at your own pace. I’m enjoying exercising (did I just say that??) and I’ve already lost five pounds!

I also like the outdoor workout setup and the midweek home workouts are quick, but effective.

Hope was great about showing different ways to do each exercise based on your individual fitness level, encouraging everyone to work at their own pace and level. Hope gave us a healthy living tip each week to focus on, as well as a mid-week exercise routine and was wonderful about checking in and providing tips and encouragement. After the second class, I noticed a huge difference in my energy level, my balance, and my ability to push myself on certain exercises.

The encouraging and inspiring way Hope teaches truly shows how much she cares about each one of her students. I feel so much stronger than I did six weeks ago thanks to Hope!
