From yoga to pilates, CrossFit and more, here are the best workout classes in Silicon Valley.
MNT stands for Move Nourish Transform, but don’t let the delicate-sounding name fool you—its Pilates will work you so hard you’ll hobble to your car afterward. The focused but fast-paced reformer classes are capped at eight students, so friendly instructors have the time to make individual modifications that will take a workout from tough to punishing. The studio also offers mat Pilates, barre and nutrition classes. Bonus: It offers on-site childcare during select weekend classes. 575 High St., Unit 120, Palo Alto
3Fit’s fun-filled group classes will make you smile while simultaneously making you sweat. Each session is super intimate, with slots for only 5-10 people based on the class. Pick from a varied schedule, including intriguing classes like Weird Strong, Jungle Gym, Gravity Blast, Primal Power and—our favorite—Zombie Apocalypse Survival Training. 3685 Enochs St., Santa Clara
Team-based workouts are the name of the game at Field Fitness, where small classes of 10 people are led by two coaches to ensure a supremely personalized experience. Each week features a rotation of six different 60-minute classes utilizing traditional resistance training, functional training and high-intensity interval training. 1299 Water Lily Way, Ste. 20, San Jose
Whether you’re completely new, a longtime pro or just need to brush up on the fundamentals, Checkmate Boxing has a class for you. The goal? To promote the sport of boxing by making it more accessible to the masses, teaching techniques that real fighters are known to use. 157 W. San Fernando St., San Jose
Bust a move at On One Studios, where working up a sweat means high-energy choreography and groovy tunes. Dancers can take hip-hop, jazz and contemporary classes, while those with less experience will love the easy-to-learn GROOV3 dance fitness program. 422 N. Capitol Ave.
One of Silicon Valley’s most popular yoga providers, YogaSource Los Gatos offers four different programs to choose from, each with three to four specially selected classes to enjoy. The Gentle program includes vin, chair and gentle yoga, while the Flow program focuses on vinyasa and power flow classes. Hot yoga and cycling classes are other beloved offerings. 16185 Los Gatos Blvd., Los Gatos
