ISO a workout group that doesn't involve my kids

Hi,

I would love to join a group / circuit workout that's fun, will make me sweat and doesn't involve me bringing my stroller full of kids. I need to expend energy and be with adults and be challenged and have fun.

Are there any good outdoor groups or boot camps in the Elmwood / Rockridge area? I was an athlete before 3 kids, and now I'm late 30's, work full time and need to feel strong in my body again. <cry for help>

If you're at all interested in a barre class, Remedy Barre & Foam Rolling just opened last month on Telegraph at 48th. It's a great, sweaty workout that will definitely leave you feeling strong and confident. The teachers are great at correcting form and giving feedback, as well as being mindful of different levels of fitness and injuries. They also have foam rolling classes that focus on myofascial release and helping sore and tight muscles relax. 

SWEAT fitness is awesome. There's a location on Solano Ave in Albany and one on College Ave in Oakland.

I've been a regular there for a bit over a year. I go 2-4 times a week depending on my schedule and kids. The classes are High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) classes. They're super challenging and really fun. The trainers are all really impressive too. I've been really really happy with the change in my body over the year I've been working out there. www.sweatoften.com

You're describing BeFit! It's an interval training group exercise class that meets twice a week (you can add on more). We are almost all mothers and can empathize with one another about making time to take care of ourselves. Tiffany is very encouraging and supportive, and the classes are tough! http://www.balancedfitnessformoms.com/programs
