Everyone Fears a Strong Woman

Femmes FITales is a medium/high intensity, varied workout designed for women. We use weights, medicine balls and our own body weight to make us stronger. We emphasize core strength training and endurance and have two days a week of intense cardio exercise. The format changes from week to week, and you’ll never have the same workout twice. Every other Friday, we devote the entire class to stretching and core exercises, so you’ll also have a chance to work flexibility and balance. Class size is small so you'll get individual attention, encouragement and coaching.

We meet every weekday morning, rain or shine from 5:45 to 6:45 a.m. at Williamsburg Middle School in Arlington. No class on Thanksgiving, Christmas, or New Year’s day, or if Arlington County Schools are closed due to inclement weather.

If you want to get into shape, meet fun people and be pushed harder than you will push yourself, Femmes FITales is for you.

Wellness Feldenkrais: All Levels

if you are interested in introspective movement, you will like the Feldenkrais method, an educational system centered on movement. it aims to expand and refine the use of the self through awareness. you will often be lying down yet sometimes sitting, kneeling or standing. you will be outwardly moving the whole time, while simultaneously exploring a given inward focus. you will also learn more about anatomy. Feldenkrais increases your awareness of yourself. over the sessions you are likely to find that you are more relaxed, nagging pains are diminishing, and you are feeling more limber and energetic. Bring a bath towel to cover the County-supplied mats and, if you desire, a small pillow. (you can take a one-day workshop on Feldenkrais).
