Urban Moves is a boutique personal training and class only fitness studio that caters to clients ranging in age and fitness level. Because we do not have membership fees, our clients do not work out in our facility unless they are in a class or with a trainer. Our goal is to focus on providing clients with highly effective personalized workouts and classes that are small and customized to each individual. Our trainers are hands on and intuitive, constantly giving clients detailed instructions that lead to results-oriented workouts.

We love our toys! Along with the standard elliptical, treadmill and bike, we get excited about finding unique ways to get in shape. The Power Plates provide total vibration technology and are fantastic way to get a quick workout. The Jacob's Ladder is a continuous ladder that keeps your entire body engaged in a climbing activity that never ends. Stay tuned for new items coming soon!

Our trainers will pre-plan your session to ensure a workout that is customized to fit your schedule and designed specifically for your body-type, lifestyle, and fitness goals. We offer individual and group personal training and fitness consulting. We often recommend that you book 2 one-hour sessions per week. On the days that you don't have an appointment, our trainers can customize a weekly workout plan for you to follow. Body composition is checked every 4 weeks to track progress. Whether your goal is muscle gain, fat loss, flexibility, cardiovascular conditioning, all of the above or other specific fitness goals you may have, Urban Moves will help put all the pieces together in achieving your fitness goals safely and effectively.

Most of our classes are unique and exclusive to the area. As the only location in Ohio to provide BarreAmped, we are staying consistent with the trends currently emerging in NY and LA. We have incorporated the Power Plates into our Class schedule and have a brand new TRX Yoga class that is garnering a lot of attention. Our goal is to provide classes that are no more than 10 people (this would be a large class for us!) and have varied, customized and out of the ordinary workouts.
