The Best Boutique Fitness Classes Near Elon

With COVID-19 affecting every area of our lives, it’s no surprise that our health and fitness routine has changed. And TBH, there’s only so many at-home workouts you can do before you lose your mind. 

This is why we’ve been obsessed with boutique fitness: group workout classes that’ll get your heart rate up, keep your motivation high, and leave you feeling a sense of accomplishment. 


The Spin Barre 

To kick it off, we have this cycling studio located right in Burlington. They not only offer spin classes, but TRX, barre, and combo classes, too. This studio curates bomb playlists fit for any mood, and the employees there are full of energy and create a welcoming environment that’ll have you coming back week after week. Try your first two weeks of classes for just $30 here, and don’t forget to follow them on social to get the latest on new workouts and student discounts!


Feel Better Yoga

Looking to unwind after a stressful week of classes? This is just the spot for you, (and the inside is totally Instagram-able might we add). If you’re a beginner yogi, don’t stress. There’s no mirrors inside the studio, and they take all levels of experience. So throw that hesitation out the window and get ready for an hour of breathing, relaxation, sweating and sense of community.

Orange Theory Fitness

With a praised OTF studio right in Greensboro, you’ve gotta know what this place is all about. During your time in one of these unique classes, your heart rate is tracked-- by a heart rate monitor given prior to class-- based on five different zones: gray, blue, green, orange and red. The point of the class is to get “splat points,” which you gain when your heart rate exceeds the “orange zone” or the “red zone.” The goal of class is to spend at least 12 minutes in one of these two zones in which you’ll get the max reward out of your workout and continue to burn calories at a higher rate for the rest of the day. The classes are typically a combination of instructor-led weight training and treadmill exercises, so fair warning, get ready to SWEAT. Try your first class free today!



TITLE Boxing Club 

Do you need to get some aggression out? Are you looking for a unique and intense way to get a good sweat? This full body workout will tone your arms, legs, core and more. And trust us, it’s intense. So grab your boxing gloves and try this amazing workout now!


Elon’s Group X
Finally, we have arguably the most accessible form of boutique fitness, and it’s right here on Elon’s campus. All you have to do is visit this website or download IMLeagues from the app store and browse the classes offered in the Group Exercise section. Elon offers classes like Cycle, Awesome Abs, Total Body HIIT, Yoga, GLUTES, Pilates and more. The only caveat? You’ve gotta be quick with sign-ups. Registration happens 24 hours before the start of your class time, and from experience, the spots fill up quick. With the $20 membership fee waived due to COVID-19 for this semester, you really have no excuse!
