305 At Home

I started taking 305 classes online in March 2020 and I've been hooked ever since. I've never been one for dance classes or group fitness in general but the positive, welcoming and inclusive atmosphere created by 305 made it easy to fall in love with these workouts. You don't get the diet talk or weight loss as the only goal nonsense here. It's all about getting moving, getting stronger and appreciating your body for what it can do now. But the workouts are still intense—cardio, toning, choreo, the works. And the beauty of 305 At Home is getting the studio experience from anywhere! Classes are all on-demand and downloadable so you can do classes on your time, at your pace and anywhere in the world. I also love that I'm constantly discovering new music through 305's dedication to indie and up-and-coming artists. The instructors are incredible, and the variety of classes available (cardio, strength, stretching, prenatal and more) means this could be your one and only fitness app. I may never go back to the gym again.

I’m not fortunate enough to have a 305 Fitness studio in my hometown, but I LOVED the classes I would take when I would travel to DC (pre-pandemic). Nothing here at home ever matched the ultra-hyped positive dance fitness experience of a live DJ and a positive instructor welcoming you and pushing you to be your best in those 45 minutes. Until this app! 305 At Home has been my lighthouse during this pandemic. Yes because of the workouts, yes because of the DJ, but also yes because of every instructor’s vocabulary and message in class that we do this for ourselves - because movement brings joy and power and hope; because we are worth it the mental and emotional and physical wellness that it brings; because we are 🔥🔥! I hope this app continues to endure long after the pandemic restrictions are lifted and boutique studios open up again. It’s provided me ACCESS to a true love! 💃

Beyond an app that I use - this is my reminder that I AM STRONG AND CAPABLE. 🔥💪😍 I turn on 305 Fitness and all of a sudden the music and dance moves give me this infectious boost of energy, excitement, and confidence that I wish I felt all hours of the day. Life right now is a struggle every day. But when I end my day with 305, I literally feel myself shake off the heaviness I felt during the duration of my day. ➡️ What I love the most is how intentional, genuine, and inclusive the team at 305 is with their work. The instructors are kindhearted 💞 and you FEEL it, the songs reach different genres (recent songs*, Caribbean, pop, throwback, etc), and it’s not assumed that you are joining to lose weight- it’s assumed that you are joining because you want to have FUN, because you want to feel CONNECTED, and because you want to feel EMPOWERED. That for me is a huge refresher. I exercise to feel good. And now I do it with 305 b/c I’ve finally found a community of people who understand that and want to create a space for people like me. In entrepreneurship there is a common quote that you should not work too hard on your first product b/c it’s only a test product. So many companies tend to come up with very simple versions of products at first and wait for customers to send them lots of feedback. With this app, I am impressed with how great the quality and variety is on the first released version. The creators focused on exactly what its users would care about - great sounds, beautiful visuals, new daily videos, and saving/downloading videos you really like (that one is my fave unexpected feature). 💗 I don’t usually take the time to write a review, but the impact 305 has had on me is big enough that I want to show my gratitude by doing whatever I can to show my love for this company
