As I turn onto the Rickenbacker Causeway for my first class at Code of Life, a sign greets me and I instantly feel excited: 'Welcome to Key Biscayne - Island Paradise." With sparkling sun-kissed turquoise water as far as the eye can see, beautiful green trees and tons of fitness enthusiasts jogging, cycling and walking dogs, I feel as if I've entered some futuristic society that epitomises healthy living. I could certainly get used to mornings like this!
Located on the second floor of a quaint little shopping section of Key Biscayne, Code of Life is ideally situated for those looking to work on their mind, body and spirit. And with its close proximity to Biscayne Bay, the Atlantic Ocean and acres of untouched nature preserves, it's a beautiful setting for a workout away from the hustle and bustle of the city.
Classes are intimate and the instructors are incredibly warm and relaxed, adding to the island vibe!
Notable Classes
Barre: I absolutely LOVE Code of Life's Barre studio because there are mirrors EVERYWHERE! Use them to perfect your form or to sneak glances at your classmates or instructor! It's a great motivational tool when your shaking legs feel like they'll measure 9.0 on the Richter Scale! The classes are fast-paced, endorphin boosting and FUN!! The beginning of my class with Francine felt like an 80s jazzercize video and I couldn't stop smiling! I was drippppppping with sweat and if my ass could cry it would!!
Pilates Reformer: For those who have spent time in a pilates studio before you'll know there are some reformers which lay flat on the floor (ie no "table legs.") I've found that these machines conjure up zen-like feelings of tranquility (maybe it's being grounded... literally) so I was really glad to see them at Code of Life. They immediately set the tone for a class that allowed me to mentally unwind and decompress while getting a great workout and focusing on my postural alignment, flexibility and core strength.
Code of Life also has THE BEST (and I mean BEST) athleisure clothing shop. So if the tranquil island vibe and amazing classes haven't reeled you in ... GO FOR THE SHOP!!!
