Should You Be Doing Doubles?

At SIN, we love the motivation. We love the consistency. We love that so many of you want to be here more. But let’s talk about something important: doing two classes back-to-back. This isn’t about limiting you. It’s about helping you get the best results possible — safely, effectively, and long-term. And most of the time, doubling up on classes works against your progress, not for it. To be clear: we are not talking about pairing a class with yoga or mobility. Recovery-based sessions are different. We’re talking about taking two regular classes in a row — whether that’s strength, kickboxing, bootcamp, or any combination. ....

❤️ February Members of the Month: Matt & Ali Fontaine ❤️ February is all about couples, and we couldn’t think of a better couple to highlight than Matt and Ali Fontaine!

The Power of Strength: Confidence, Energy, and Longevity

When people think about fitness, they often focus on losing weight or “getting in shape.” But strength is about so much more than a number on the scale. Building muscle and improving functional strength affects every part of life, from your energy levels and confidence to your ability to move safely and prevent injuries. Strength training is for everyone. It’s not about being an athlete or lifting the heaviest weights, it’s about making your body more capable, resilient, and independent. Strong muscles help with everyday tasks like carrying groceries, climbing stairs, playing with your kids, or even standing at a desk without fatigue. And as we age, maintaining ....

Stronger for Stef: When a Community Comes Together

There are moments that remind us that fitness is about so much more than workouts, weights, or calories burned. Stronger for Stef was one of those moments. This event wasn’t just a class or a fundraiser, it was our SIN Fitness community showing up with purpose, compassion, and heart. Members, coaches, families, and friends came together to support Stef and her family in a powerful way, proving once again that this community is about more than movement, it’s about people. During the Stronger for Stef workout, we did what we know how to do best: we moved our bodies together. We lifted, pushed, and powered through each round not for personal records or scores, but as a ....

Come for the Workout, Stay for the People

November always brings me back to gratitude. I know I talk about this every year, but the truth is, gratitude isn’t something that loses value. It deepens, especially when you’ve lived through the hard seasons. November has become my month to slow down, look back, and remind myself of everything I’m thankful for. Every year feels a little different, and every year the gratitude hits in new ways. This month is personal for me. Three years ago in November, I lost my mom. It’s a moment you never fully prepare for, and a kind of grief that doesn’t follow any rules. During that time, the strength of the SIN Fitness community held me up in ways I can’t ....
