Great Escape: The Girl Spot

A time for mom's to get away from it all and 'The Girl Spot' offers our great escapers an alternative fitness class geared specifically for women.

Your teens are holding a car wash at the high school on Saturday. The grandparents volunteered to take the younger children to a movie Sunday afternoon. Your tweens take tap on Wednesday evening.  It’s your time! Take it!

Each week, we’ll tell you about one great idea to give you a much deserved break, and make your life a little easier, maybe a whole lot easier.

Are you tired of the treadmill at the gym or in your basement? Then its time to try something different! Turn your workout upside down and spin it around as you enroll in Alternative Fitness Classes for women (18 years and older) at The Girl Spot. Discover a new world of exercise in a positive, woman-centered environment.
