High Endurance Athletic Training with Warin is back for the fall! If you want an intense interval workout that produces results, this is the class for you. Here's what one of the past participants had to say:

"At the end of four weeks, my stamina had increased, my balance was greater than when I started and the best part was that my clothes fit better. I even went down one size with my dress slacks! This was by far the best $150 I have ever invested in myself and definitely made the early mornings worth it!"
