Yoga

Yoga is an integral part of our product. From increased body awareness and mindfulness to developing greater movement range of motion we have been using this discipline to counterbalance some of the more intense hours in the week. 

Either using it as a sole approach to fitness or combining it with the array classes at PXM, Yoga has been proven to generate great results over time.

Aerobic Capacity

At PXM we understand how important it is to keep your body healthy and ready for one more day of training. That's why our product incorporates slow paced specialty classes designed to help you with recoverability and increase body awareness.

In this class we will spend time primarily on the cardio machines but not exclusive to other simple conditioning modalities; rowing, skiing, biking, running, double unders, etc.

This is a great class if you are trying to get better at basic elements of cardio-respiratory conditioning and endurance, learn a bit about pacing and effort control. Getting a good sweat session without many technical limitations one might experience otherwise.

Form & Function

Form and Function is a lower-intensity class dedicated to refreshing, developing and strengthening the foundational movement skills, individual progressions and efficient flow between movements.

These can then be applied to our traditional classes, open gym or other specialty programs. Each week highlights a different movement or skill to practice and integrate. Form and Function is open to and appropriate for all athlete levels and is a great time to get additional “deep-dive” coaching on technique and skills.

It’s a great space for newer athletes to brush up on “new” movements, or for any athlete looking to refine and tweak their performance and skills. All ability and skill levels.
