Caitlyn's Review on Her Experience with Pvolve Pvolve was there for me at a very difficult time. My name is Caitlyn Walsh. I’m from New York, Long Island. Prior to Pvolve I did a lot of high intensity interval training and I was a runner. What I wasn’t getting through those workouts I was 100% getting through Pvolve. It was really the missing piece in my holistic journey. When you run or when you weight lift, you’re hitting those major muscle groups but you’re ignoring the smaller and very important muscles that create, you know, an overall healthy balance. Functional training allows you to hit those muscles while also recovering. It’s a way of working out where you get the impact without the physical harm on your body. Four or five years ago, I would describe strength as, you know, how much you can lift, how far you can run. Whereas now, especially after the pandemic, I describe strength as more of a mental state. Pvolve was there for me at a very difficult time. My dad, he had stage four cancer and he was a marathon runner. He made it to the Olympic trials. He got the gusto enough to do a small Pvolve workout with me. And I thought, Hey, this could probably work for you. And it did. It really did. It helped. And we later found out that his physical therapist decided to incorporate it into his workout routine. I find that no matter where you are in your personal life, Pvolve definitely fits in. There’s truly a place for Pvolve in your life, and it will benefit you 100%.

Anna's Review on Her Experience with Pvolve I love coming to class and seeing women of all ages, all colors and we’re just in there killing it! My name is Anna and I'm from Brooklyn, New York. It’s something about just being in that room. Everyone kind of moving in unison. It just really pushes me and motivates me. I started the journey last year because I'm like, I have to do something to balance my personal and my work life. I was looking for a low impact, high intensity workout, so I tried many. It wasn't until I came to Pvolve and it was just a mix of the workout, the studio, the trainers. I remember bringing a friend of mine who did CrossFit and he was like, this should be easy. And at the end of the class, he was just like, what did I just do? It looks easy, but when you get into it, it is not easy. The community at Pvolve is so inclusive and welcoming. We’re all just very nice and respectful to each other, and there’s nothing better than having that camaraderie after class. To me, strength means having the courage to recognize something that you want to change. Having that courage to go after it and then having the confidence in that decision that you made. I tell people about Pvolve all the time. Being able to have Pvolve in my routine now it’s helped me so much.

Anicia's Review on Her Experience with Pvolve Strength is beauty. It’s resilience. It is doing the thing that you’ve somehow convinced yourself that you, like, could not do. My name is Anicia and I am from Minneapolis, Minnesota. My really good friend Nikki had been taking classes at Pvolve for several months and she had been trying to get me in that studio. I was addicted to my spin classes, my HIIT workouts, and one day she was like, I’ll take you to dinner after class. Okay, I’m not going to turn down a good dinner. I was, like, hooked ever since. When I started Pvolve I was in a much larger body and I didn’t think that my body could even move in these directions. It was my first time in a while being in a group fitness class with individuals of, like, all different levels. So I felt like I really fit in. When I’m in the city here, I like to go to the studio and then whenever I’m traveling for work, I love to do virtuals. The Pvolve equipment is super accessible. It allows me to get a good workout in on vacation wherever I am. I am a chef, and so I am constantly moving my body in the craziest ways. I’m grilling, I’m sauteing, I’m carrying huge pans. The method has really taught me how to, like, engage my core when I’m like carrying groceries or when I’m taking a pan out of the oven. It’s allowed me to move my body in a healthier way so that I can like, live a longer life. I think of Pvolve as a practice where you can find tone, you can find strength, you can find resilience. So many other methods, I’m only either getting certain physical results or mental results, and it’s very temporary. I think it just really transformed the way that I think about working out and movement in my body.

Dina's Review on Her Experience with Pvolve I think it’s badass to be strong and that can mean different things to different people. I would describe Pvolve as strength, cardio, pilates and its low impact, which I love! Using Pvolve as you get older is super functional. When I started Pvolve, I was probably still running or still doing high impact stuff and that slowly tapered off. And I realize I don’t have to put my body in jeopardy to feel like I’ve had a workout. Little micro muscles that I’ve literally never seen in my body started to appear. My favorite piece of equipment is the P.3. It has the ball, has the handle, has the different straps. Even when I’m traveling, I’ll take it because it has so many different uses. With the live virtual studio, you can have your camera on. You know that someone’s possibly going to call you out and be like, stretch, you know further or hold that longer or lunge deeper. And that’s what I like about it, is that I don’t feel like I can slack off with, like, my hour or more to give to myself for my mind and for my body.

Paige's Review on Her Experience with Pvolve I was not expecting to make so many close friends through a fitness studio. My name is Paige and I’m from West Palm Beach, Florida. I grew up dancing and riding horses competitively, so training for that was just off the walls. I just felt so compact and compressed. Pvolve has taught me that I don't need to break my body down to grow in strength. I really need to embrace, challenge, balance, and all of the things that they don't necessarily tell you when you're training for something. With the in-studio classes, there's just nothing like feeling the energy when you walk in and hear the music. Cardi B or Lil Wayne playing, I'm like, this is the energy that I need today. You're literally balancing while you're working resistance bands, while you're holding weights. I feel and see muscles that I have never felt or seen before in my entire life. It's crazy, and I think it's just because the whole body is working together. I feel like I've had every single emotion in the Pvolve studio. I've gone there and cried over a breakup with the trainers and girls in the locker area. I've gone there and celebrated a job promotion. I feel like every aspect of my life is just like ingrained in Pvolve. I've taken my dad there. I've taken my brother there. It's the perfect environment to celebrate you, to learn more about yourself. Strength to me is embracing challenge and finding a balance. Pushing yourself to the point of knowing what you're capable of but also giving yourself grace in moments that you need it.

Q: What kind of results have you seen with Pvolve? (results that you might not have seen from other workouts) I turn to Pvolve as my recovery workout to incorporate into my high-intensity training as a gymnast and the results have been just what I was looking for – the workouts leave me feeling more flexible but still gaining strength. Q: During what part of your fitness journey did you discover Pvolve? I’m currently in full training-mode leading up to the Olympic Summer Games, and was looking for an option that would allow me to still progress while also getting the muscle recovery I need. Q: How has Pvolve strengthened you (mentally, physically) in your personal and professional life? Working out alone is an experience I almost never have – I’m usually in a loud gym with coaches and other gymnasts. Pvolve has allowed me an escape to focus on my fitness while also getting some alone time. Q: How do you like to practice the Method? At home between meetings? When the kids are sleeping? In the morning to kick off your day? My favorite way to practice the Method is at home after my light days – working out at home is a whole new experience for me! Q: Favorite piece of Pvolve equipment? I think my favorite piece of equipment is the P.ball. I love how versatile it is from using it for arm strength, during planks, or on the legs. Q: Go-to pre or post workout snack? Smoothie! Q: Favorite music or playlist to work out to? Love a nice Beyonce playlist. Q: Where can we find you when you’re not working out? Spending time with my niece & nephew 😊

Tara Moni is a fashion enthusiast, mom of three boys, and influential content creator who has worked out with Pvolve throughout various stages of her life. Read more about Tara’s story below and how Pvolve has consistently played an important role in her overall physical and mental wellness routine. Q: What kind of results have you seen with Pvolve? (results that you might not have seen from other workouts) For starters, I don’t walk into the workout with any feeling of dread! Physically, Pvolve makes me feel toned and lean. I love feeling strong after my workouts. It's empowering! Q: During what part of your fitness journey did you discover Pvolve? I heard about Pvolve around 5 years ago because I had friends who were instructors. This was pre-kids, when I had more time to try out different classes. I gravitated towards Pvolve because I loved how challenging yet approachable it was. Q: How has Pvolve strengthened you (mentally, physically) in your personal and professional life? It’s no question Pvolve has strengthened me physically. I feel stronger in my arms, abs, and butt! What surprised me more was that it also strengthened me mentally. After having kids, carving out time for myself became a necessity. Integrating something like Pvolve on a weekly basis allows me to take care of myself. Q: How do you like to practice the Method? At home between meetings? When the kids are sleeping? In the morning to kick off your day? I've always preferred morning workouts because my body feels the lightest and it helps kick start my day in the best way. That being said, it's not always possible to carve out time in the morning with my busy mom schedule. Luckily, Pvolve has hundreds of on demand classes that I can take at any time of the day. Q: Favorite piece of Pvolve equipment? I love the P.band! I think this is why I stay toned. You’re strengthening your arms, back, and shoulders without using traditional weights. Q: Go-to pre or post workout snack? I eat differently every day, but my one consistent snack is a Go-Macro bar. They are so delicious, with clean ingredients. I highly recommend the Coconut + Almond Butter + Chocolate Chip flavor. Q: Favorite music or playlist to work out to? I am so basic and love putting on the Pop Hits playlist from Spotify. Q: Where can we find you when you’re not working out? You can find me either chasing after my three (all under age 3) boys, at dinner with my friends or husband, or diligently working at my local coffee shop. If I'm not doing one of those things - you can find me binging good old reality tv.

Helen Owen is a lifestyle and wellness influencer who's no stranger to a great workout. From travels around the world, keeping up her goals at home, to continuing leveling up her fitness routine - the Pvolve Method has been with her throughout it all for over 5 years.  Follow along with Helen on her social @helenowen and read more from her below: Q: What kind of results have you seen with Pvolve? Pvolve really showed me it’s possible to build muscle in really specific targeted areas without killing yourself doing high intensity workouts. I was always insecure about my lack of booty muscle and felt like the workouts I was doing to try and build that muscle were targeting my thighs and legs and all the wrong areas. On top of that, I am prone to headaches and found that high intensity workouts didn’t leave me feeling energized, but rather depleted. After discovering Pvolve about 6 years ago I realized that I could activate those booty muscles in a really targeted and intentional way by doing micro movements that left me feeling strong rather than destroyed. Q: During what part of your fitness journey did you discover Pvolve? When I first discovered Pvolve I was in a space where I viewed fitness as something that didn’t really work for me in the way that I wanted it to. I didn’t feel drawn to exercise because I felt that “working out” meant intense cardio and high intensity commitments. I found Pvolve at a time when I didn’t really think I could love working out and moving my body, and it really showed me that smaller, precise moves can have a big impact to your body. Q: How has Pvolve strengthened you (mentally, physically) in your personal and professional life? I find strength and empowerment from being able to build muscle and get some intentional movement in no matter where I am in the world, so long as I have wifi connection. Q: How do you like to practice the Method? At home between meetings? When the kids are sleeping? In the morning to kick off your day? Pvolve has given me the ability to get into a rhythm while on the go. I travel so much throughout the year, and with a hectic and ever-changing schedule while traveling I have relied on Pvolve throughout my many trips to move my body in a way I know my muscles will respond to. It is incredible to have a workout program that I can rely on to use while I travel because so much of my travel life is unpredictable, like where I am sleeping, what I am eating, and how active I am. Q: Favorite piece of Pvolve equipment? I love the P.ball! I love that it is so multifaceted as a piece of equipment and can be used to tone the inner thighs, keep you in your p.stance, work as a resistance band for above the knees or the ankles, and it’s unlike anything else on the market! Q: Go-to pre or post workout snack? I love making protein oatmeal after a workout! I mix my favorite protein powder into oats, and then top it with full fat greek yogurt, fruit and honey! If I am in a savory mood, I love to make eggs and avocado with feta cheese! Q: Favorite music or playlist to work out to? Two Friends big booty mixes! The best!!! Q: Where can we find you when you’re not working out? These days, at the beach!

With Pvolve, I feel like I use muscles I didn’t even know I had! Q: During what part of your fitness journey did you discover Pvolve? I was introduced initially several years ago, and I have loved it ever since. It has been the biggest relief to have it during this pregnancy (I’ve worked out with Pvolve during multiple stages of my life). The specialized resistance equipment has made it possible to work out safely for me and the baby, and for me to stay energized and feeling strong. Q: How has Pvolve strengthened you (mentally, physically) in your personal and professional life? The workouts put me in such an empowered state, reminding me how capable my body is.

A longtime athlete and fitness instructor, Samantha C., 23, from Victoria, British Columbia in Canada, went from Pvolve non-believer to total convert. Now, she’s about to become a Pvolve trainer herself. Ask me what to do for fun, and I’ll tell you that I work out—and I mean it! Exercise has always been such an important part of my life. As a kid, I did triathlons and was a competitive swimmer. Then as I got older, I also got into high-intensity fitness, like boxing and spin class. I went to school for kinesiology (the scientific study of human movement) and now I’m a boxing and spin instructor. It’s my job to work out—and I love every minute of it, but the workouts don’t always love me back. All of that movement was overstressing certain areas of my body. For example, after running, my hips would feel sore. But I always assumed this was just part of working out and building muscle—until I discovered Pvolve.  In the family Last year, my mom visited family members in San Diego who are in the  process of opening three franchise Pvolve studios. They put on a virtual Pvolve class to work out to, and my mom joined in. She fell in love. It was truly an instant obsession. Once she was home, she ordered all of the Pvolve equipment, bought a membership, and started doing Pvolve daily (even multiple times a day). I couldn’t wrap my head around the moves. I was accustomed to high-intensity workouts like weight lifting, squats, deadlift lunges, and treadmill sprints that really push your body, and Pvolve was nothing like that.   But this is how much my mom loves Pvolve: She decided she wanted to open a studio in British Columbia and told me that she hoped I’d be a trainer there. I didn’t know what to think—especially because I was about to go on a three-month post-graduation trip to Europe. But I told her I’d try out the method while I was traveling. After all, it’s not like I’d have my gym to go to! First impressions My hostels and Airbnbs in France, Italy, Greece, and the other countries I traveled to were tiny, but I learned that you don’t need a ton of space—or any equipment—for an effective Pvolve workout. I have to be honest that during the first class, I wondered how the method would benefit me. The moves felt awkward and my heart rate wasn’t spiking as high as I was accustomed to. But, like my mom, I quickly fell in love with the Method and started doing Pvolve daily. I quickly realized that the low-impact workouts deliver major results when you stick with it. I started to develop core strength like I’ve never experienced before and discovered muscles I had never used. Plus, my body just felt good. Even when I was walking 30,000 steps a day around Rome, I felt strong throughout my core and wasn’t sore by the end of the day. A new way of thinking When I got home from Europe, I continued doing Pvolve three to four days a week, but this time I incorporated the equipment. I’ve continued to improve my strength, mobility, flexibility, and glutes (seriously, I’ve never been able to get this type of result before, and I spent a whole two years specifically training my glutes prior to Pvolve!). But the method has also enhanced my training in other areas of my life. I feel stronger in boxing class, my core is fully engaged while riding my bike, and hips are more mobile while running. I used to return home from a run in pain, but now my body feels great post-run! This completely challenged everything I thought I knew. In college, I learned that you need to break down all your muscle fibers and go through an uncomfortable recovery process in order to build new muscle, so I associated soreness with getting stronger. But with Pvolve I’m able to improve my strength without breaking my body down. I feel energized after a workout, not spent.    Looking forward These days, I’m in the process of training to be the head trainer at the studio my mom is opening. My sister is also going to be a trainer there—it’s a total family business. After being blown away by my own transformation, I can’t wait to share my love of Pvolve with others and show them how the method can improve their lives.  I want people to know that while the muscle tone and lengthened, lifted results are wonderful, Pvolve isn’t just about physical changes. The method has helped me feel empowered and more confident—and it shows in the way I carry myself (major posture improvement!). My Pvolve journey has just begun, and I’m so excited for what’s next. 5 of my Pvolve highlights 1. Discovering the slant board The slant board is one of my favorite pieces of equipment. I love that it targets my hips, glutes, and quads from all angles. 2. Taking Kimmie’s classes Kimmie is my all-time favorite trainer. I love her energy. She makes you work so hard, but she keeps you smiling through that exhaustion. Plus, her choreography is amazing. 3. Recruiting new fans I introduced Pvolve to my boyfriend’s mom, and she’s obsessed now too. She does it twice a day! 4. Seeing my glute gains I used to do workouts to specifically target my glutes, but nothing has been as effective as Pvolve. My glutes have never looked stronger! 5. Feeling good in my body After years of pushing through pain and thinking that was normal, it’s so refreshing to move about without soreness while still feeling stronger than ever.

Follow Tracy on her social @tracytutor and read more about why she loves Pvolve and the important of functional fitness in her routine below: Q: What kind of results have you seen with Pvolve? Due to my rigorous weight training regimen, spending five days a week at the gym, my body has experienced some wear and tear. Incorporating the Pvolve Method, which, in my opinion, emphasizes various muscle groups, has allowed me to recover my larger muscle groups while simultaneously engaging different muscle groups that won't pose a risk of injury. Q: During what part of your fitness journey did you discover Pvolve? I follow numerous fitness influencers online and came across Pvolve on social media. Seeing Jennifer Aniston, who has always been an icon to me, and recognizing the shape she has been able to maintain was inspiring, so I decided to give it a try. Q: How has Pvolve strengthened you in your personal and professional life? Pvolve has been great for me because it allows me to get a strong workout at home without the need for an extra half-hour of travel time to the gym. On a personal level, it's my time to set my intentions for the day and do something for myself before the chaos of my life begins, running a business and taking care of my two teenage girls. Q: How do you like to practice the Method? I am not someone who can work out in the middle or at the end of the day. Mornings are dedicated to taking care of myself first and maintaining a strong fitness and wellness routine. Q: Favorite piece of Pvolve equipment? I love the P.ball because it’s really hard to work my lower body and build my backside. Q: Go-to pre or post workout snack? A pre-workout snack for me typically consists of an energy drink to provide that extra push when I wake up at 6am to train. Q: Favorite music or playlist to work out to? Girl anthem playlist or 90s Hip Hop Q: Where can we find you when you’re not working out? Running around LA showing homes or having a skinny margarita with a tajin rim.

Twins Olivia and Victoria S.,30, of Miami, FL are very family-oriented, so it’s no surprise that they do Pvolve together. Victoria discovered the Method first, and Olivia quickly joined her. After experiencing body-changing results, they can’t imagine not having the Method in their lives. We live very social, active lives in Miami, and we’re always looking for ways to stay in shape. We played volleyball and tennis growing up, and as adults we’ve tried multiple different workouts and classes, from running and yoga to cycling and boot camp-style classes. We sweated our booties off and ran what felt like a million miles on treadmills, but we still weren’t completely satisfied with the results.  We’re both naturally slim, so weight loss has never been a concern, but we did want to find that unicorn of a workout that tones, strengthens, and elongates you. We’re in our swimsuits a lot, so we wanted to feel and look good! Finding “the one” We noticed that a friend of ours was seeing amazing results—her body looked incredible—so when she shared that Pvolve was her secret for her defined muscle, Victoria knew she had to give it a go. She started streaming the workouts in the living room during the pandemic, but Olivia wasn’t convinced. She thought that the moves, like internal and external rotations, seemed strange compared to the workouts we were used to. But once Victoria started to get the results we’d been longing for, we were both on board! We started doing Pvolve every morning together for 30 minutes, and we haven’t looked back. We took to the workout pretty quickly, maybe because of our exercise background, but it did take a bit of practice to get accustomed to some of the moves, especially the ones that require balance. Thankfully, the Pvolve trainers are amazing at walking you through the movements, so we quickly started to feel comfortable. On the go We travel a lot, and Olivia especially is always on the move, since her boyfriend lives in New York City. Finding a workout that we could travel with was important to us and Pvolve fit that requirement perfectly. You can do the live and on-demand classes wherever you are since you don’t need a large space to work out, and the equipment is so easy to pack in your carry-on. We’ll take a few pieces, like the P.band or light ankle weights with us, and exercise from our hotel room or even on Olivia’s boyfriend’s balcony. This has raised some eyebrows with TSA! They’ll question us about the gear, but we’re more than happy to spread the word and let more people know about Pvolve. Results we’d dreamed about Like we had hoped, Pvolve’s functional movements help lift and lengthen in a way that we haven’t experienced with any other workout. From our arms to our glutes, we feel tighter and stronger. It didn’t happen overnight, but after about five months of consistently working out (we’ll typically do Pvolve every other day), we started to see the physical benefits. The core-focussed moves have flattened out our stomachs and given them a more subtle tone. The Pvolve Method has also helped to emphasize our curves and shape a little bit more—we’ll take that! Plus, after working in the office all day, it feels so good to stretch and open up your hips. The best cheerleaders We can’t gush enough about the Pvolve trainers. Their energy is contagious, and they’re so supportive in helping us reach our goals. If we’re doing a live virtual class, we’ll keep our camera on for personal trainer-level guidance. And if we get a move wrong, they’ll call it out—but in a nice way. Plus, they’re all ridiculously friendly. We’ll chat on social media, and we’ve even met up in real life for brunch. We just hope that one day a studio opens in Miami! A Pvolve session is such a mood boost—we leave each class feeling energized and happier. And honestly, it’s been a confidence boost too. Now when we get into our swimsuits, we’re proud to show off the results of our work! 5 of our Pvolve highlights 1. Discovering new ways to tone our core Pvolve isn’t a normal ab workout—you won’t be doing crunches or lying on your back doing the bicycle move. Instead, the Method’s movements use exercises like standing ab workouts–and wow, they’re effective! 2. Strengthening our body for life We’re young, so we’re not at the point where we’re worrying about our balance. But we know that the functional movement we’re practicing now is going to pay off throughout our lives. Even with simple movements, like lifting up a box and putting it on a shelf, we notice a difference in our posture. 3. Learning the sit  It’s such a unique move. It’s not a squat, but it’s similar except you raise your arms up at the same time. It fires up the glutes, elongates your torso, and gives you an amazing stretch. 4. Finding a travel-friendly workout We’re frequently on the go, so we’re so thankful that we can easily pack Pvolve’s equipment in our suitcase and exercise from our hotel rooms. 5. Feeling confident in a bikini We’re in our swimsuits a lot (we live in Miami!) and thanks to Pvolve, we feel amazing in our bodies now. No other workout program has ever delivered toning results like this!

Claudia Pfau is a marketing consultant, content creator, longtime Pvolve member, and the co-founder of Minded Society. When she isn't dreaming up marketing campaigns or hosting Zoom parties, you can find her traveling the world with her husband, trying all the latest wellness trends, or taking her favorite ballet class. Claudia shares everything you need to know about her favorite travel workouts below. My Favorite Travel Workout I never thought I’d be one to work out on vacation, but here I am, 5 years (and hundreds of workouts) into my Pvolve journey, and I just can’t get enough. My husband and I love to travel, so I’m often out of sync with my home routine – especially in the summer! But for a creature of habit like me who loves to start her day with a quick morning workout, it’s essential to have a travel-friendly program I can rely on, even while on vacation.  Pvolve’s functional strength training workouts not only help my body feel strong and lengthened, but they keep my mind happy and energized without having to sacrifice precious vacation time. No matter where I am in the world – a hotel room, boat, beach, mountain, you name it – I love that I can easily and quickly incorporate functional movement into my day. I just pack a few pieces of Pvolve equipment, load up my on-demand library, and pick a quick workout routine that fits into my travel schedule. Best workout equipment for travel As much as I love to overpack, I’ve had some unfortunate run-ins with missing luggage over the years, which means I’m a carry-on girly for life now. So when it comes to packing Pvolve equipment, I have to be strategic with both size and weight. My 3 go-to pieces of equipment for travel: P.band — perfect for a quick arm workout Heavy Ankle Band — keeps my booty in check P.3 Trainer (I pack one ankle cuff, the shorter band, and the handle) — amazing for full-body movement. All three pieces are light and compact, making them super easy to pack. All I do is stuff them either in my shoes or purses or even in my backpack if the space in my carry-on is tight. And there are tons of incredible workouts that require no equipment at all and are just as effective as the rest. My favorite travel-friendly workouts I love that Pvolve has an entire Travel-Friendly selection of workouts along with the On-The-Go Series for travel lovers like me. It makes picking my workouts so much easier. While on vacation, I try to sneak in 3 workouts a week that are 30 minutes or less and target a couple of muscle groups at once. It’s all about efficiency! I typically look for functional core workouts, low-impact leg workouts, and quick ab and arm workouts. Major plus if these are mostly standing because I don’t always have a mat with me! If you have access to a hotel gym, I’d also recommend doing a quick Progressive Weight Training workout like this one with Maeve. Not only are these workouts equal parts fun and challenging, but they leave me feeling strong, stretched out, and ready for the day in less than 30 minutes.   How I workout while traveling Tbh, I’m not perfect by any means when it comes to working out while traveling. But the one thing that motivates me the most is how much better my mental health is after a quick sweat sesh.  Of course, the physical results are wonderful too. Hello, toned muscles! But what I really focus on is how beneficial the Pvolve Method is for my overall mood and well-being. I’m a totally different person when I make time for myself in the morning with movement that brings me joy. And it makes my travel experience that much better. (Along with some much-needed rest days!) A few things that help keep me on track: Packing equipment - if I bring it, I might as well use it! Picking my workout the night before Working out first thing in the morning Scheduling a 30-minute Live Virtual Studio class if it fits into my schedule I’m beyond grateful I found Pvolve 5 years ago, and I’m even more grateful that this program easily fits into my on-the-go lifestyle. Hopefully, you’ll find me Pvolving all over the world for years to come.

For Deidra G., 55, Pvolve started as a way to fill in a gap in her workout schedule, but three years later, she can’t imagine her life without the method—or the results it delivers.  I’ve never had trouble finding ways to be active. Whether I was running, skiing, hiking, or going to the gym, I have always made working out a priority. But when the pandemic happened, even the hiking trails near me in Los Angeles closed. For the first time, I found myself searching for ways to stay fit.  Then, I came across an ad for Pvolve online one day. The movements looked interesting and completely different from any other exercise I had tried, and since the classes were online, I could work out at home. Better yet, they were offering a discount for medical care workers (I work in radiology). I decided to go all in, and invested in a starter package that included hand weights, ankle bands, and the P.ball.  Healthy movement  I began with routines that focused on Pvolve’s foundational moves, and was impressed that the workouts helped improve strength, mobility, and flexibility. None of my other workouts ever touched on all three!   I was also pleased to learn that Pvolve’s exercises focus on strengthening the pelvic floor. At work, I often see patients who are dealing with pelvic floor issues, so I understand how important it is not to neglect it.  Contagious energy  Once I was ready, I challenged myself with some of the more advanced online classes and Dani Coleman quickly become one of my favorite trainers. Her energy is amazing! Then, when the West Hollywood studio opened up not too far away from where I lived, I decided to try an in-person class.   I couldn’t believe it when I saw Dani leading the class! I enjoyed her in-person workout even more than the ones I tried at home. She is so good at pushing you and suggesting little tweaks that take your workout to the next level. I left class drenched in sweat and feeling totally invigorated. That’s the moment I realized I never wanted to stop doing Pvolve.    A new level of fitness  These days, I make time for some of my other favorite workouts, like running, but Pvolve is my number one. I go to a studio class about six times a month, and have never felt stronger.   From my arms to my core to my glutes, I see more tone and definition—and considering the compliments I get, other people must as well. I credit some of this to the fact that Pvolve’s routines fire up muscles in my body that were previously ignored with my other workouts.  Not only does this added strength give me extra power and stability when I run or ski, but it’s also helped at work. My job is physically demanding—there’s a lot of twisting, turning, and reaching over patients—and over the years, it’s taken a toll on my body. But Pvolve’s functional fitness routines have taught me how to move in a more  mindful way that works with my body instead of against it.   Studio love  I recently moved to another neighborhood in Los Angeles, and my first thought was, “am I still going to be able to make it to the Pvolve studio?” But the answer was 100% yes. I love and need this workout, and it’s absolutely worth the 40-minute drive from my new home to the studio. I truly never regret going.  Whether I’m taking a class with Dani or another trainer, the energy is unbeatable and the encouragement I get motivates me to push myself a little bit more each time. With other workouts, I’ve often experienced plateaus or found that the moves become less challenging over time, but that’s never the case with Pvolve. There’s always a new goal to reach and new moves to master, and even three years later, I feel the same way I did after my first studio class: I never want to stop doing this workout!  5 of my Pvolve highlights 1. Finding my balance I was so intimidated by using the Slant Board at first, but balance is so important—especially as we get older—so I kept at it. Now the Slant Board is one of my favorite pieces of Pvolve equipment!   2. Improving my running Pvolve has helped me excel at other workouts, too—especially running. My legs are stronger than they have ever been.  3. Discovering new faves I love the Pvolve merch! Equipment, tees, sweatshirts, I have it all. And after a sweaty session, I like to replenish with Pvolve’s Recover 9 supplement.  4. Strengthening everything Because I work in the medical field, I often see patients who are dealing with pelvic floor issues. So I was thrilled to find out that the Pvolve Method targets and strengthens this often ignored area of the body.  5. Going the distance I don’t think twice about driving 40 minutes to the closest Pvolve studio. Nothing could replace these workouts—or the energy and motivation—that the trainers bring to class.    

After years of working out for aesthetic reasons, Paige A., 24, was introduced to Pvolve and experienced a transformational shift in her exercise mindset. I’m not one to sit still. Physically and mentally, I’m extremely restless. As a kid growing up in Florida, I rode horses competitively, danced for school, and was involved in other activities that got me outside. And during my college years in Nashville, you could often find me working out at the gym with my roommate. After graduating, I relocated to New York City for work. The move took some adjustment. Because I don’t have a car, I wasn’t able to get out of the city to find ways to get active and sweat away stress. I felt extremely isolated, and thought that maybe I wasn’t cut out to live in New York. Then I stumbled upon Pvolve on the ClassPass app—and it changed everything. Making new moves My first class was at Pvolve’s Soho studio with Mel. The room was packed and full of energy, but when I heard Mel toss out Pvolve terminology (“internal rotation,” external rotation,” “stagger”), I thought I’d never be able to follow along. I was accustomed to taking classes where instructors called out moves without much explanation, forcing me to look around and attempt to mirror other people in order to keep up. Pvolve was nothing like that. Mel took the time to walk around the class, correct form in an encouraging way, and offer tips on how to get more out of a move. I wouldn’t say that I perfected my internal and external rotations that day, but I started to get the hang of the method! At the end of my first week, I knew I had to get a membership. Discovering my core I became a regular at the Soho studio, and quickly learned that I had been going about strength training the wrong way. Before Pvolve, I relied mostly on my legs and arms to power my workouts, and I thought that by wearing out the muscles I used the most, I could build strength and stamina. Pvolve taught me that strengthening my whole body allows me to use every muscle more effectively—and all of that starts by tapping into my core muscles. Now when I go to lift something heavy, for example, I make sure that the motion originates from my core. When my mind and core work together, I can truly do so much. I surprise myself with my own strength! Adopting a new workout “why” When I exercised at the gym during college, the focus was always on how I looked. To be honest, I never enjoyed those workouts, and they didn’t feel great on my body either. But I thought that was what I had to go through in order to get a “summer body” (whatever that is). But near the beginning of my Pvolve journey, a trainer asked me what my goals were, and that question helped shift the way I think about my workouts. It made me consider what else I could aspire to, like being able to improve my balance or pushing myself a little bit harder. Of course, I’m still proud of my new muscles, but I no longer judge my progress by what I see in the mirror. Instead, I aim to do a little bit better than I did the day before. It’s been a transformational mindset shift, and I’m proud of that!   Finding a home away from home These days, I try to go to a Pvolve class seven days a week, and each time, I’m so happy to be there. If I start my morning at the studio, I know it's going to be an amazing day, and if I end my day at the studio, I know I’ll go to sleep feeling so accomplished. I leave feeling a million times better than when I came in—every time. It’s wild to think that a year ago, I was convinced I was ready to leave New York City and move back to Nashville. Pvolve—and the studio community—gave me a reason to stay. From the trainers to the other students, everyone is so supportive. We cheer each other on as we work toward our fitness goals, and celebrate wins and highlights outside of the studio, like birthdays, promotions, and engagements. I’m part of a community, not just another membership number at a gym, and I truly feel lucky to know and work out with this one-of-a-kind group of people. 5 of my Pvolve highlights 1. Feeling challenged, every time Each Pvolve class provides another way to push myself and work on my strength and mobility. The workouts are always evolving, which means I never peak or get bored. 2. Discovering nonstop support The Pvolve trainers are with me every single step of the way and are dedicated to supporting my goals and helping me achieve them. 3. Focusing on me—and only me I no longer look around the room and compare myself to others or worry about what I look like to other people. Instead, I’m laser focussed on my own progress and how I can push myself a bit more than I did the day before. 4. Learning how to use my core Pvolve taught me how to pull strength and stability from different parts of my body, including my core muscles. I remember the first time I saw this pay off when completing a challenging balance exercise—it was so cool! 5. Ditching my “summer body” mindset I used to exercise for aesthetic reasons, but Pvolve helped me realize there’s so much more to working out than what I see in the mirror.

Nicolette C. knows that getting older doesn’t have to mean losing your strength. At 69, she’s achieving new workout goals—and inspiring others along the way. I’ll blow out 70 candles on my next birthday cake, so for me, exercise is about so much more than getting in shape for a selfie. I work out to strengthen my body so that I can continue to live an active, independent life. When a former barre instructor pointed me to Pvolve, I was intrigued by their approach to functional movement. The exercises promised to work with my body instead of against it to help improve mobility. It sounded just like what I needed. Now, almost three years after my first class, I’m proof that the method works. Yes, I have muscle definition that wasn’t there before, but it’s what you can’t see that I want to talk about. Because to me, that’s what matters most. Slow, but Steady, Progress I’ve been a member of my local Los Angeles Pvolve studio since the summer of 2020. Classes looked a lot different back then: We were outside, masked, and socially distanced. I’ll admit that my first class was a bit intimidating! I didn’t recognize any of the equipment (turns out, it’s unique to Pvolve) and the moves felt foreign to me. I remember performing an exercise with the P.band and barely being able to pull the resistance band apart. But I’m no quitter! My amazing trainer, Dani Coleman, showed me how to use the gear and adjusted my form, whether that meant shifting my weight or sinking back deeper into my hips. I was struck by the fact that in order to do Pvolve workouts correctly, you have to pay sharp attention to how your body is positioned. That intense focus helped shut everything else out of my mind. Still to this day, when I’m doing Pvolve, it’s all I’m thinking about. It’s the ultimate “me time.” Real-World Results Nine months after my first class, I remember using the P.band and realizing that I was pulling it apart with no problem. I just felt so much stronger in my body. But it’s what happened outside the studio that showed me how effective the Pvolve Method is. If you’re older like I am, you know that something as simple as reaching behind you in the car to grab your purse off the backseat or tripping over a crack in the sidewalk can leave you seriously injured. That’s why I appreciate that the moves I do during Pvolve enhance my everyday life by improving balance, mobility, flexibility, and more. Now if I'm walking on uneven ground, reaching for something, or standing on my tiptoes, I feel confident in my body's ability to perform that task. Feeling strong in my body also means that I get to spend more time doing one of the activities I love most: gardening. All of that crouching, bending over, and digging used to leave me feeling sore. Regularly working out with Pvolve has helped me build my strength and stamina, making it more enjoyable to spend hours outdoors tending to my flowers and plants.   Spreading the Word These days, I go to Pvolve at least three times a week, and each time, it’s a new challenge. That’s what I love about the workout. Just when you think you’ve mastered a move, an, additional tweak can be added to make the exercise more difficult and push you to yet another level—but in a doableway. It’s so rewarding, and I never feel bored! That consistency and dedication pays off. I feel proud that I can do twice as much as some of the newer members who are decades younger than I am. And I want everyone to know that you can never be “too old” to do Pvolve. It benefits everyone. And when you’re my age, those benefits can truly change your life. 5 of my Pvolve highlights 1. Inspiring my generation I’ve encouraged other older women to become Pvolve members. I love helping people realize that working out has no age limit. 2. Improving my mobility This is so important at my age! Everything I do in the Pvolve studio enhances my ability to move and function in the real world. 3. Surprising myself with my own strength I continue to be amazed at what my body can do, like planks! I could never do them before. 4. Giving it my all You can’t give 50%. The Method requires total focus. I love that. It forces me to pay attention to me—not what the woman next to me is doing. 5. Spending more time gardening Now that I’m stronger and have more stamina, I’m able to dedicate more time to my beautiful flowers.

After dealing with multiple exercise-induced injuries, Amanda M., 47, a doctor from Fishers, IN, turned to Pvolve for a lower-impact solution—but she didn’t expect the method to teach her so much about her own body.  As a family medicine physician, I’m quick to notice when something in my body feels off. So when the cardio, dance, and weight-training workout videos I used to work out with started to become too much, I knew I needed to make a change. I was dealing with plantar fasciitis pain in my foot at the time, and these workouts only aggravated the condition. I also had tight hamstrings and lower back discomfort from running. It was time to find a new routine.  After my sister told me about Pvolve, I found a few videos on YouTube and gave them a go. I felt the difference right away. It was as if the moves were building strength around my joints instead of wearing them down—and I loved that feeling. Hello, muscles! About six weeks into my new Pvolve routine, light bulbs started going off. I’m naturally a quads-dominant person, meaning that a lot of my power comes from my upper legs. But because Pvolve’s approach to functional fitness emphasizes glute strength and glute activation, muscles in my body that had essentially been sleeping through my previous workouts were waking up and turning on. For the first time in my life, I was properly using my glutes. That new muscle activation made a difference outside of my workouts too. I found myself moving in a more intentional way—the way my body was designed to move. I even noticed a change in posture for everyday actions I usually wouldn’t think twice about, such as reaching down to pick something up or walking up and down the stairs. An A+ team These days, I do Pvolve’s at-home streaming and Live Virtual Studio workouts at least five days a week. Sometimes I pick my workout based on how much time I have or whether I want a cardio, strength, or recovery routine—but other days I choose based on the trainer.  Each trainer brings their own superpower to Pvolve’s routines. If it’s a day when I want to push myself and go hard, I tend to choose a workout led by Maeve. If I want to be lifted up, I often turn to Kimmie. And for when I need a bit of calm, Celestine’s workouts help center me. Road to recovery  Looking back, I can see that my previous workouts were lacking balance, which led to injury. But with Pvolve, I listen to my body and practice mindfulness. Now that I’m no longer pushing myself through high-impact workouts, my plantar fasciitis has improved.  I also used to deal with pelvic pain that would limit my mobility, but strengthening my core has helped improve my hip and pelvic stability. I don’t think I have ever had any other fitness instructor mention hip stability during a workout before, but it is discussed often during my Pvolve classes!  Stronger, in so many ways If I had to describe Pvolve in one word, it would be empowering—and not just because I feel physically stronger and more capable. It’s been an educational exercise too. The Method serves up tools and information that have helped me better understand my body's mechanics—I've found that to be invaluable! This isn’t about working out just to hit a weight goal or fit in a pair of jeans. It’s a holistic approach to fitness that helps you live a healthier life, and I’m so grateful to have found it.  5 of my Pvolve highlights 1. Discovering a routine that doesn’t destroy me The workouts I used to do led to pain, including plantar fasciitis. But Pvolve feels good on my body. It’s more like prehab. 2. Learning how to use my glutes Turns out, I had been going through life without activating them properly! I’m glad Pvolve taught me how to engage these important muscles.  3. Protecting my future health I have a family history of osteoporosis, but I’m hopeful that Pvolve’s focus on weight-bearing and resistance activities is helping to lower my risk. 4. Finding inspiration The Pvolve trainers are so positive and uplifting, and they encourage us to show up as we are. 5. Gaining a better understanding of my own body I’m a doctor, but Pvolve has given me a deep education about my body’s mechanics, which has done wonders for my everyday life. I just feel better!

Anicia A., 32, of New York City was physically burnt out from a rotating list of high-intensity workouts and a demanding job, but Pvolve helped her rethink her relationship to exercise. Before I found Pvolve, I believed that if a workout didn’t leave me feeling totally exhausted, it wasn’t worth my time. That mentality did a number on my body. I pushed myself through endless HIIT classes, bootcamps, marathon training, cycling classes, treadmill classes—you name it, I’ve tried it. I was already dealing with some health issues and inflammation, and my body didn’t react well to the high-impact workouts. I would leave classes feeling sore and burnt out. It didn’t help that, as a personal chef and owner of a kids’ meal delivery service, I have a very physically demanding job. I’m on my feet most of the day, and the motions used while cooking were leading to pain and repetitive use injuries. It was time for a change. Branching Out A friend of mine suggested that I attend a Pvolve class with her. She showed me a streaming video, and at first, I was skeptical. It was so different from the workouts I was accustomed to. But I gave it a shot. I took my first class with Melanie at the New York City studio and was hooked right away. The music was great, Melanie’s motivating energy was contagious, and the moves worked my body without straining it—a first for me!   But even though the workout wasn’t high-impact, it was still intense. I couldn’t believe how much resistance the Pvolve equipment, like the ankle weights and P.3 Trainer, added to the moves! They challenge everything: your core, legs, glutes, arms…it’s not easy. Feeling Better Every Day Around the same time as starting Pvolve, I tweaked my diet slightly. My body seemed to love the changes, especially the fact that I had cut back on high-impact workouts. I lost some weight, started sleeping better, and even experienced positive health changes. Something that surprised me was how the method paid off outside of the studio too. Pvolve’s focus on functional fitness taught me how to move in ways that work with my body instead of against it, and that completely changed how I move about during my workday. Now if I’m standing chopping vegetables for a long stretch of time, for example, I’m mindful about the way my shoulders and hips are positioned. Or when I squat down to take pots and pans out of a cabinet, I make sure to engage the appropriate muscles. I think this new mind-to-muscle connection has helped take a lot of stress off my body! Finding a Home Away from Home These days, I take a studio class five or six times a week, and each time, I look forward to it. Pvolve is the answer to everything! Bad day? Take a Pvolve class. Good day? Make it better with a Pvolve class. The community is truly the best and the staff has become my second family. I’ve completely given up my high-impact workouts. In fact, the only other physical activity I do outside of Pvolve is walking. And my body continues to thank me for the switch every day. I’m stronger, have better mobility and balance, and I just feel so much better. And when I wrap up a workout, I’m energized instead of exhausted. It’s like I’ve given my body exactly what it needed. Pre-Pvolve me would have never believed that was possible!   5 of my Pvolve highlights 1. Discovering what my body needs I used to do a lot of high-impact workouts, and my body didn’t respond well. Pvolve showed me that low-impact can still mean high-intensity. 2. Finding a supportive community I’ve met amazing people through Pvolve. The staff are like a second family to me. 3. Embracing mindful movement I’m a chef, which can be a physically demanding job. Thanks to Pvolve, I tap into what I’ve learned about functional movement to take stress off my body while working in the kitchen. 4. Changing my tune about planks Yes, they’re brutal, but I’ve learned to love them. They’re super helpful and help to break up the class! 5. Enjoying an energy boost I walk out of Pvolve classes feeling refreshed and invigorated—not exhausted and overworked.
