I hope to answer any questions you might have about our VersaClimber workouts and to give you a little insight behind what goes into one of the “funnest” classes I’ve ever had the pleasure of teaching! What On Earth is a VersaClimber? Even after years of teaching and taking Lagree classes on the Megaformer, I had never heard of the VersaClimber. When Chris, the owner and founder of

Celebrating 4 Years of Strength at Studio PhysiqueWe officially landed on the St. Pete Fitness scene when we opened the doors to Studio Physique June 8th, 2015. It was quite a Monday! The 1st class I taught at 9:30 that morning, I remember seeing white cottony material on the bottom of everyone's brand new grip socks as they moved into "Mega Donkey Kicks".

Your Guide to Starting the New Year Strong at Studio Physique Tis the Season for CHEESE! To me holiday season means one very important thing: cheese. It seems that this time of year, everywhere I look…THERE IT IS! Slices, cubes, wheels and balls and I love it all. When I enter a holiday party the cheese platter is the first place I stop, popping some into my mouth and wrapping hunks in my napkin before grabbing a glass of Chardonnay and heading to a quiet corner to enjoy my spoils.
