It’s a good solid workout. The views of the surrounding area was breathtaking. Loren makes everything easy to learn. He has equipment for you so there is no need to worry about anything. And he goes at YOUR PACE. It’s perfect because you set the day. If something seems too much for you. You can pull back no judgement. Make sure you dress in layers. Be bold. Start. Cold. You will warm up…”
