The first month of 2016 is already coming to an end and you realize you still have yet to begin your "eating healthier", "getting in shape", "I'm gonna work out everyday" resolutions that your swore to yourself would begin January 1st! But let's get serious this is in fact is a whole lot easier said than done. Getting motivated to lead a healthy lifestyle sometimes takes more than just yourself, sometimes it takes a community.
Fortunately for YOU St. Augustine there is a place where motivation and fitness meets FUN! Funkytown Fitness located in the Riverside Center off of State Road 312 is a fitness studio owned and operated by Heidi Pidcock and Beth Morucci. Open since November of 2013 Funkytown Fitness is a fitness studio that offers a number of fitness classes that promotes a positive and healthy lifestyle with a funky twist! Both Pidcock and Morucci having been in the fitness world since 1995 have been fitness instructors in St. Augustine with a huge following for years. As the two became more and more popular for their hip and trending classes , their work out rooms became extremely crowded! "We realized that these people were paying for memberships just to take our classes and they weren't even using the gym!" says Pidcock. Thus an idea was born to create a place where all types of classes were offered in a studio setting. Here is a quick description of the classes that they offer:

"We've created our own little community. When it comes to working on your fitness, it's so much easier to stay focused in a class setting and every one involved motivates one another. It's such a fun atmosphere. We are all family." -Beth Morucci
