Looking to shake up your workout routine this Spring? Whether you’re craving high-energy cardio, low-impact strength, or a little bit of both, these three standout classes bring something special to the St. Louis fitness scene. If you caught the January round up of 3 Group Fitness Classes To Know, you know this quarterly feature is not about singular events, but on-going classes that offer consistency, community and a reason to keep showing up. From dimly lit dance floors and warm sculpt studios to treadmill intervals that fly by, here are three group fitness classes to know this April.

If you’re looking for a low-impact workout that feels as good as it is effective, Empower at Warrior Won delivers in all the right ways.

This 45-minute sculpt class blends yoga, mat Pilates, and strength training into a low-impact, full-body experience that leaves you feeling strong, grounded, and energized. Empower is offered both warm and non-heated classes.

But what really sets Warrior Won apart is the experience.

From the moment you walk in, everything is thoughtfully prepared—your mat, weights, and towel are already set up and waiting. With minimal mirrors, the focus shifts away from how you look and onto how the movements feel, creating a more intentional and empowering environment. This is a place where you feel taken care of and can truly reset both your mind and body.

It’s clear this locally owned studio is building something special. Regulars tell me how much they love coming to classes and creative special events, plus how welcoming the community is.

Empower is an ideal option if your looking for a low-impact strength workout and the calming, mental benefits of yoga. Warrior Won offers many other yoga formats beyond Empower, see more of their class offerings here.

If your ideal workout feels more like a night out than time at the gym, Cardio Dance at Bloom is calling your name.

This follow-the-leader style class is all about letting loose, moving your body, and having fun. Taught by owner Jamie Smitz and a team of instructors who each bring their own unique vibe, no two classes feel exactly the same—but the energy is always high.

In Cardio Dance you will likely stop watching the clock, forget you’re exercising, and leave with a full endorphin high. The studio sets the mood with dim lighting, loud music, and choreography is designed to make you feel confident and a little bit spicy. The best part? You don’t need to hit every move perfectly. In fact, you’re encouraged not to overthink it. Just let loose and dance.

In March, our FitnessFoodieSTL community event happened here, and the energy in the room was absolutely contagious— proof that this class is as much about community as it is about cardio.

No dance experience needed—just show up and have fun.

Cardio Dance Class Schedule:

  • Monday 10am & 6:30pm
  • Wednesday 5:30pm
  • Thursday 6:30pm
  • Friday 9:00am
