Sugar & Spice Fitness For Women

So where do I begin… I met the ladies of Sugar & Spice about a year and a half to two years ago. I was searching tor a place that specialized in fitness for women and I found it!
The thing I love the most is that this is a no judgement zone… you will find women of all shapes and sizes taking a class here. I used to feel so insecure about taking a dance class because I didn’t want anyone looking at me or judging me, however Jenn and KP create such a amazing environment and fab classes that you don’t have time to worry about others in class because your having too much fun!
You don’t realize you’re getting a workout in since they don’t offer your typical boring meathead gym dance routines LOL. It’s so much fun!
They offer a variety of classes/​workshops with my favorite being anything featuring The Queen Bee herself Beyonce!
Since I’ve started taking the classes I feel sexy and confident and that SCREAMS volumes about these lades. I am a client for life!!!

Sugar n Spice is a wonderful dance aerobic experience! We came in as a group of 3 to this small dance studio in Chinatown. The class had about 12 ladies total. The women who run this show were professional and upbeat. This particular dance session was called BFierce an hour of midlevel intense rump shaking, hair tossing, Zumba inspired dance routines, sprinkled with Beyonce’s sexy moves and songs, that most of us have watched and tried to mimic from her videos.
Sounds intimidating… NOT! These instructors were so encouraging and their energy was so high, they made us feel like we could do anything they dared. After I got pretty comfortable with the moves, I started paying attention to our group in the mirror and we really looked like a semi professional dance troupe. I mean for that hour we were in The Zone. I had such a good time! One remark I heard was oh they could have gone a little longer, but the woman who said this happened to be a professionally trained Zumba instructor, in my mind I was like yeah right! An hour works good for me…
You can wear tennis shoes, or rent high heel dance shoes or bring your own. There are cubby holes where you can store personal belongings. Normally I would scoff at paying $ 20 bucks just to do some random groovin’ I normally play around with in the privacy of my own home on laundry day, but this was different, we socialized, laughed, and encouraged each other. There was even some networking afterwards. And it helps when the instructors are confident and sexy themselves, because of this, I caught that energy and left feeling the same way!
I looked at their schedule of classes lots of variety too.

I recently took a Turbo Kick class through Sugar & Spice after buying a coupon for 3 classes for $ 25 (a great deal considering each «workshop» is $ 20). All I can say is, what a class! It probably says something when you’re sore mid way through the class. I was literally dripping by the end of what I though was 20 minutes, but was actually more than an hour. The instructors, KP & Rae, were motivating and high energy and they came prepared with an energizing mix of music to accompany our workout. The website says there’s parking surrounding the Flashpoint location, but I wouldn’t recommend it. Sugar & Spice offers bi-​monthly workshops, which I’m sure to be back for.

If you really want to get your Saturday off to a great start? Check out their Zumba class. It’s super energizing and so.much.fun. I feel like I’m «goin’ to the club» but on a Saturday morning?! I am typically a «gym» person and so like to fly solo, for the most part, but this class definitely changes the whole rhythm of my day.
The instructors «K.P.» and Jenn are fun, funny –know their stuff– and while it can be challenging at times, it’s still pretty cool because even if you don’t necessarily to do it «right,» your body definitely gets a work out (oh, and there’s that «fun» part too). Plus, nobody else cares.
Just for giggles, I tried some of the other classes and workshops too like the «B-​Fierce,» («like»), the «Booty Camp» (intense) and I think it was either the «Haute Girls» or «Bollywood Hotties» preview class. I couldn’t believe I was actually doing some of that stuff in a room with other women (people) present, but they make you feel 100% comfortable with expressing your total «self» (and attitude) so I decided to just forget about everybody and figured why not? Where else in public would I do this? I like that they appeal to the two sides of me – the Yin Yang (or the «Sugar» and the «Spice»).

I absolutely LOVE Sugar and Spice. The variety of workouts, class sizes and price keeps me coming back every week. Try Booty Camp for an Intensity-​style challenge or B-​Fierce if you’re a Beyonce stan like me. The instructors are totally nice and encouraging – they won’t let you give up! And with women of all shapes and sizes in class, you don’t feel self-​conscious or nervous at all (at least I don’t). SnS is seriously the best $ 7 I’ve spent in years!

Amazing and motivational people! I highly recommend them!

I attended the B-​Fierce fitness class. I really didn’t know what to expect but the class was a lot of fun-​music was great! You can go at your own pace because the instructors are really good at breaking down each move so that it is easy to follow. Plus the workout gives you a good overall cardio jolt as well as toning, which I wasn’t expecting. I definitely worked my core, upper body and lower body throughout the class. I experienced muscle pain the next day, which is ALWAYS a good sign of a quality workout.

If you’re looking for a fun new workout routine, I highly suggest trying Sugar & Spice Fitness Burlesque’s Class. I’ve never taken an exotic aerobic class before and I’m not very rhythmically inclined, but it didn’t matter. I was able to do all the moves, and felt the burn in my glutes and legs instantly (lots of seductive squats).
Bottom line, the burlesque class was fun, taught me a few moves I can show my hubby, and made me sweat. What more can you ask for???
