The Carousel: Training for your Mood

Are you feeling like getting a good pump on and staring yourself down in the mirror? Are you feeling like letting loose, embracing joy and euphoria as you jam to your favourite tunes? Or are you feeling like letting go and embracing some “you time” on the mat through light introspective movement?


Therapy Fitness is a new concept that aims to encapsulate this with three fully immersive studios designed to help you embrace the “therapy” you need for that day. 

The music, sound, lighting and candle flickers are all artfully curated to help you embrace any mood you desire for your session.
