Instructor: Coach Amanda Berg, Certified Strength & Conditioning Specialist Participate in every date and receive a full refund! There is strength in community—especially when it comes to fitness. B.O.M.B. Moms is a supportive workout group designed for women to train and sustain together. As strength training gains popularity among aging adults, particularly women, it can be difficult to navigate the overwhelming amount of fitness information available. This course aims to cut through the noise and provide effective, guided training in a welcoming environment. What sets this course apart is Coach Berg’s approach: she works out alongside the group, using her own training time to model proper form, offer encouragement, and provide real-time coaching. As someone who loves the weight room but finds it hardest to train at the end of the day, Coach Berg created this morning program to help both herself and others stay consistent. Each session begins with a guided mobility warm-up, followed by structured strength training that includes prescribed movements and lifts. Every movement can be progressed or regressed to meet individual fitness levels, making this program accessible and challenging for all participants. Sessions conclude with a flexibility-focused cool-down. Participants will also receive two strength workouts per week to complete independently, off-site and on alternate days from in-person sessions. Motivation gets us started, Dedication keeps us going! This course serves as a trial offering. If participation is strong, another trial session will be offered in November. Continued interest and attendance will lead to a full 3-month transformation program running January through March.

Participants may find themselves involuntarily dancing The ZORBA during this one-of-a-kind cook-along experience with Chef Tess. Dive into the world of creating two scrumptious traditional Greek Phyllo pastries, Baklava and Spanakopita that have been known to awaken taste buds and the “inner Greek”. Baklava is a Traditional Greek layered dessert pastry made with phyllo, chopped nuts and other secret ingredients. They are baked to golden perfection and bathed in dreamy honey-kissed syrup. Spanakopita, on the other hand, is a Greek savory pastry, consisting of a savory filling made of spinach, cheese, herbs and other secret ingredients that is enrobed in delicate sheets of phyllo pastry. Talk about mouthwatering goodness! Tess grew up in a Greek home where Baklava and Spanakopita were made and enjoyed throughout the year, but especially for any and every holiday. She too joined in the tradition of creating these delicate pastries ever since she was roughly 6 years old. Tess now combines her decades of knowledge, secret ingredients and techniques full of tradition, sharing them with participants of this virtual cook-along class only. Join Tess as she guides you through the process of creating one of her versions of Baklava she calls ‘Baklava Rolls’ and through the process of creating her spanakopita triangles. Regardless of level of skill working with phyllo, participants will leave with two show-stopping recipes and the confidence to serve them at any gathering. BUT Shhhhh!!!!! Remember, Tess is only making her SECRET recipes available to those who REGISTER for this class. They will be asked to keep these secrets SECRET as Tess has done so for over 50 years!
