Combat Goat Pilates
Featuring our five foster boys, Pabst, Red Stripe, 'Rona, Freddie & Franky are ready to make sure you get a work out, but they also are on a mission to make sure you don't actually do any pilates!
Should you accept the challenge, tickets are $35 for an hour session with our wonderful instructor, Ashley, as she tries to navigate the boys' antics while helping lead all of you in a productive session!
**Fair warning, must be 21+ to participate and sign a waiver just in case the boys succeed on their missions. Please wear clothes you don't mind getting dirty and/or possibly chewed on. And yes, we will have a safe word if the boys decide to be too much for anyone
