SculptHouse



I love workouts that give me a humbling experience, and this is definitely one of them! I have talked about how much I love Megaformers before, but SculptHouse takes the Megaformer™ experience to a another level by incorporating the Woodway curve treadmills into the equation.

Megaformers are so amazing because they keep constant tension on your muscles and help you get that long + lean look. I always struggle during the ab section of the class on this equipment, because it's so challenging. The goal on the Megaformers is to be slow and controlled. There is a lot to think about with your form on each move, but don’t worry, the instructor is always there to help correct and get you in the right position.




Woodway curve treadmills..... well, they are challenging. These treadmills are all about manual power and you physically moving the belt. Here is the good news: you pick your level of exertion. They don’t tell you how fast to go. You have four levels to choose from on the treadmill. So, you pick what each level means to you. Also good news - you burn 30% more calories on these kind of treadmills than a regular treadmill. No pain, no gain, right?!






Anne Marie (@fitcitypearl) Lead Trainer for Nashville Sculpthouse says the following:


"Our 50 minute StrengthSculpt class using the Megaformer™ to deliver endurance,

cardio, core, balance, and flexibility training with each and every move. Burn fat, kick-start your metabolism and improve your postural alignment with this workout – easily modified or amplified to fit the needs of each client,CardioSculpt. Our signature workout. Combining 25 minutes of cardio intervals on the Woodway Curve treadmill with 25 minutes of Megaformer™ strength training, this cutting-edge workout produces maximum results.



Speeds on the Curve are defined by "levels" of exertion that consistently challenge and allow you to customize each workout based on your ability and needs. Whether you are walking or running, each stride is a step closer to reaching your goals."

Class Options:
  • Cardio Sculpt Up:  25 minutes Upper body on Megaformer, 25 minutes Woodway
  • Cardio Sculpt Down:  25 minutes Lower body on Megaformer, 25 minutes Woodway
  • Cardio Sculpt 360:  25 minutes Full body on Megaformer, 25 minutes Woodway
  • Strength Sculp: 50 minutes Full body on Megaformer 





For class you will need a pair of sticky socks that you will use while on the Megaformer, and your tennis shoes for the Woodway treadmill.



I am all about classes that give me everything I want in one workout: sculpting, cardio, and sweating. And SculptHouse is all that and more. And the music is “Crystal approved”!

Defiance Fuel- Ultra Purified Performance Water


It’s all about water! I am such a huge water advocate. I could go on and on about the benefits of water, but you haven’t really had water until you have tried Defiance Fuel: an ultra purified performance water. (Discount Code Below).


I first saw the water at Barry’s Bootcamp. I just happened to have to purchase it because I forgot my bottle. I am a huge water snob as it is, so I was a tad skeptical. I had it during class and I thought, damn I feel good, and this taste so crisp. So of course I bought three more for the weekend :). As time went on I hated working out without it.

What is the fuel?
Defiance Fuel has has over 30 years of water research, it is a patented, clinically tested, premium structured water we consider your best hydration vehicle in the market. It was pioneered with Olympic gold medal athletes in 2000-2003.  The research has concluded it increases your metabolic rate, cellular mobility and overall cellular health.

Defiance Fuel has shown clinically to significantly improve:
  • Basil Metabolic Rate - measure of how much fuel your body burns
  • Intracellular/extracellular waiter ratio and water mobility
  • Cell charge which is a measurement of cell membrane health 
Personal Testimony

Let me start by saying, I never get migraines. I went though Yoga Sculpt teacher training last year and had one week where I taught every day for a few days. After class I started to get the blurry vision and headache. This was so weird to me because it wasn’t like my body wasn’t use to the heat or working out? I had run out of my subscription to Defiance fuel that week and hadn’t been drinking it. When I finally got it in and started drinking my water during class... never have had a migraine again!

Another perk of Defiance Fuel. It helps with hangovers!! Those nights you have a few glasses of wine and you usually just feel ehhhh the next day. I swear it makes me feel so much better! I also drink vodka waters with lemon sometimes, and I use my Defiance Fuel as a mixer. We all know preventing hangovers is about being as hydrated as possible. So drinking water that hydrates you is the best way to go!! True story: I ship the water when I go on my girls trips to my destination.  It is a life saver!
