ABOUT GROUPX Rx
​
At GroupX Rx, we make group training personal. You will be part of a group of no more than four women for a 30-minute training session, and your workout will be tailored to you. Exercises will be focused on core, upper-, and lower-body strength, as well as endurance and balance.
​
After you complete your training session, you will complete 30 minutes of cardio. Cardio exercises include elliptical, treadmill, and rowing.
​
In addition to working out at the studio, you will be able to join other members of the GroupX Rx community for outside activities, including hikes and trips into Boston for fun activity in the city.
IT DOESN'T END WITH GROUP TRAINING. VISIT OUR CLASSES PAGE TO FIND OUT ABOUT OTHER TYPES OF TRAINING AVAILABLE TO YOU!
