About

Kintsugi is the Japanese art of repairing broken items with gold in a way that results in an item being even more beautiful after it is broken and adding depth to its story. At Kintsugi Fitness we believe that as we sometimes feel broken, we can heal ourselves through health and fitness like the gold used in the Japanese art. The healing makes us even more beautiful people inside and out with profound stories of overcoming challenges with discipline, self-confidence, and self-love.

Kintsugi Fitness offers classes and personal training for all fitness levels. Classes are focused for fun high intensity cardio fitness as well as muscular strength coached by our dedicated and professional certified trainers. Additionally, all kickboxing cardio classes are coached with an element of self-defense taught by experienced martial artists and black belts.

Classes are held at The Wado Ryu Dojo
