Build strength. Move better. Understand your body.
You shouldn't have to guess your way through a workout.
Have you ever been in a class wondering if you're doing an exercise correctly, where you're supposed to feel it, or whether the movement is actually working for your body?
That’s exactly why we created Foundations.

"I created Foundations for the woman who wants to feel strong again, but isn’t quite sure how to get from where she is to where she wants to be."
Dr. Valerie Akinwande
Founder of Pelapy
A 75-minute full-body strength and movement class led by Dr. Valerie Akinwande, Doctor of Physical Therapy and Founder of Pelapy.
Foundations combines a great workout with something most fitness classes are missing: an understanding of what your body is actually doing while you move.
Meet Your Instructor
Dr. Valerie brings her experience as a Doctor of Physical Therapy and women's health clinician into every Foundations class.
Instead of separating education from exercise, she created Foundations to bring the two together.
Her goal is simple: help you build strength while giving you the tools to better understand your movement, recognize what you're feeling, make appropriate adjustments, and feel more confident exercising both inside and outside of class.
Because a good workout shouldn't leave you wondering whether you did it right.
