About the club
Breath of Fresh Air Fitness Club workouts are strength-based and rely primarily on bodyweight movements and traditional fitness equipment, while incorporating occasional non-traditional tools, such as rebounders, to keep training varied and enjoyable.
We are located by the river at Caperton Rail Trail mile marker 11, giving us the opportunity to open our garage doors to enjoy fresh air and scenic views on nice days. We prioritize exercising in clean, fresh facilities, and our Rail Trail location allows us to use a blend of fitness equipment and the surrounding natural space. We also enjoy community activities andlocal partnerships.
