Leash Your Fitness–MORE than just an exercise class

Leash Your Fitness on TV?

On February 7, 2012 / Special Classes

Yep!! You heard correct! Leash Your Fitness was filmed for a new National Cable show called Natural Companions. The company not only loved the fact that we incorporate our furry friends into our exercise routine but that we cater to people that really do not like to workout. They were impressed by all of the different ages, fitness levels and dog sizes that were in our classes. Many testimonials showed that we were REALLY making a difference in people that usually only take their dog for a walk for their exercise and for the dogs that needed a little structure
