you. powered by heat.
Welcome to the most empowering total body workout in a heated, dark studio.
Engage Higher Degree Fitness targets all areas of your fitness routine.
Build lean muscles, enhance flexibility and transform your body with each signature class.
Taught by the highest caliber fitness instructors, these power-packed classes will challenge and reward you every time.
Engage
Your muscles. Your mind. Your mingle.
Cardio.
Strength.
Flexibility.
All in one hour.
You won’t find the workout grind at Engage. Our higher degree studio is about making sure you get the most out of every movement, because life's too short for a half-hearted workout.
We also know that carving time in your day can be challenging. So we make sure that every class gets your heart rate up and helps you build strength and flexibility in one power-packed hour. (And we even throw in balance for good measure.)
Some moves may be slower and more deliberate, some may be faster and taken up a degree. But there’s one thing you can always count on: we’re constantly changing up moves and sequences to keep things fresh (and keep your body guessing) — so no two classes are ever the same.
100+ DEGREE HEAT. CARDIO. STRENGTH. FLEXIBILITY.
It’s fierce. It’s addicting. It drenches you in accomplishment.
Our instructors change it up every day to keep your body guessing … and keep you motivated and coming back for more.
HD Power Yoga Fusion/Vinyasa Flow
Get your fitness fix with traditional yoga poses infused with muscle-defining sequences. The faster flow will raise your heart rate, while the continuous repetition of moves accelerates your results and guarantees a sense of empowerment.
HD Power Resist/HIIT/Lift
Who can resist weights? Our weight-infused classes focus on cardio, strength and core — while the Power Resist Flow tops this off with some yoga flows. From intervals to timed circuits — all of our weight classes are designed to be challenging and work you to your edge.
HD Power Barre
Get ready to strengthen and define your entire body. Fire up your muscles with a booty and core focus combining unique barre moves with the most results-driven exercises.
Release & Restore by Sekoia Yoga
Your invitation to a vibrant multi-sensory yoga experience. A heated candlelit class that will uplift your body, mind and spirit, Sekoia's holistic approach blends vigorous vinyasa flows with eclectic music, essential oils, restorative poses and reiki.
HD Yoga Classic
Perfect if you’re new to our studio, yet also a favorite with our more seasoned students. Yoga Classic emphasizes practicing to your personal limit with traditional yoga poses and flows, complete with hands-on adjustment and a relaxing Savasana.
Yogalates/Sculpt Pilates
Yogalates - Yoga with a side of sculpting. Our power yoga delivers muscle-sculpting sequences with intense, faster flows to increase your heart rate. While the Pilates intervals concentrate on strengthening and lengthening the body with an emphasis on the core.
Sculpt Pilates — This toning-intensive class focuses on precise, controlled movements using light weights, bands and stability balls. You’ll build lean, defined muscles with Pilates moves that engage your core and improve balance, posture and flexibility.
POWERED BY HEAT. FUELED BY WATER. ENERGIZED BY YOU.
Because our studio is heated, you’ll want to bring plenty of water — as well as a larger towel to place over your mat and a smaller one to use on your face and hands during class.

Vanessa Rutherford, Instructor
Vanessa Rutherford's love of fitness instruction started with an extensive background in dance instruction — including tap, jazz, lyrical and contemporary. She's been creating award-winning choreography for 23 years, and also studied at Broadway Dance Center and Steps in NYC.
Vanessa says she's inspired by her students and always encourages them to achieve their best. She is certified in Tabata, and is well-known at Engage for her dynamic teaching style, amazing playlists and challenging classes with an athletic twist.
Shana Holderby, Instructor
Shana Holderby has a very strong affinity for fitness, and it all started when she struggled with her weight as a teen. She began taking group fitness classes, quickly found that she had a natural talent for teaching, and there was no looking back.
Instructing for 29 years, Shana is certified through the Aerobics and Fitness Association of America (AFFA). She’s known for leading fun, interactive classes where there’s never a dull moment — and she’s also known for telling her students that change happens outside their comfort zone. More than anything else, she loves coming up with different ways to keep workouts fresh.
Shelly Breehl, Instructor
Beth Freitag, Instructor
Beth Freitag finds great joy in encouraging her students to realize that health and fitness are a journey, and not simply a destination. It's a mantra she knows very well, after being in a motorcycle accident and emerging stronger than ever, thanks to the amazing benefits of physical therapy and exercise.
Beth studied at Balletmet Academy and Dramatic Truth School of Ballet in Kansas City, MO — where she also mastered kinesiology, yoga and body conditioning. Over the years, she has taught numerous ballet fitness and Pilates classes. She is certified through YogaFit and currently teaches Yoga Sweat at Advanced Training as well.

Elizabeth Brown, Partner
Elizabeth is busy behind the scenes of the studio and in front. (You'll often see her checking clients in at the front desk.) More than anything else, she says she loves the camaraderie that a boutique fitness setting offers.
Elizabeth has been part of the fitness industry for the past seven years, and is certified in Barre and Tabata. She says she appreciates working out today more than ever, because it has helped her gain so much strength and flexibility. When she's not busy taking care of Engage clients (and taking classes), she travels with her family as much as she can.
Robin York, Partner
Certified in Tabata, Robin York has been passionate about fitness for more than 30 years. It's a hobby that began with hours spent at larger gyms, and has since evolved into an appreciation of the more personal (and engaging) setting of a boutique studio.
Robin has more than 13 years of experience in operations and HR management, as well as a certification in management development and training. Today, she puts her business acumen to work. She's our get-it-done one — the one always there to answer your questions — and our studio simply couldn't run without her.
