Minimal Equipment, Maximal Impact!
E5 Collective is a training format designed to reach a broad range of people with smart, effective fitness programming using simple methods and minimal equipment.

E5 Collective packages together innovative approaches and creative strategies to help our clients and participants improve their health and fitness in a fun, accessible and inclusive way. The programming is time-based and is easily regressed and progressed to meet the needs of the individual. The “E” stands for explore.
