About Us
What is a Hero Journey?
The Hero Journey, Fitness for Body, Mind, & Soul, is not a “gym”; It’s an experience! Inspired by Michael Stephens’ personal journey from a boxer to a healing facilitator, the Hero Journey embodies all the attributes of the Hero Myth within itself. The workout can be broken down into a fundamental cycle: Separation, Journey and Return. That is the process of the hero being separated from their comfort zone, their journey into the physical and mental unknowns, and their return home with new knowledge and power gained through their workout experience. This is the model of The Hero Journey!

The Workout
HIIT Boxing
The journey starts with a5 minute, dynamic, warm up followed by 25 minutes of the perfect, high intensity burn: 12 intervals of full body, heavy bag drills!
Restorative Stretching
The next round is 15 minutes of Restorative Stretching, which focuses on lengthening and relaxing all of the major muscle groups. This stage is centered around body awareness and intentional breathing, which helps your body shift into a deeper relaxed state.
Integrative Breathing
The final stage of the Journey is a 15 minute round of Integrative Breathing. IB is a form of breathwork that specializes in bringing the body, emotions and spirit into a state of greater wholeness and connection.
Class Schedule
The workout is an hour, but in an effort to allow for the usual pre workout socializing, intros and late arrivals please allow 1 ½ hours total for the full experience. We encourage and appreciate early arrivals.
