Why We’re Adding Virtual-Only Classes to Our Schedule

At Island Beats, we empower women through movement, connection, and a renewed outlook on life. 

We know how transformative it is to have a space where you can dance, sweat, and rediscover your joy and confidence. We’re taking things even further by adding virtual-only classes to our lineup.

For us, virtual classes are more than an option—they’re our story. Virtual classes are at the heart of Island Beats. When the pandemic flipped the world upside down, we leaned into the power of connection through movement. We streamed our first class from my living room to bring joy during those tough times. From that experience, Island Beats was born.

Reintroducing virtual-only classes feels like a return to our roots, and we are thrilled to share this new chapter with you.

To give you a deeper look into why we’re shifting, here are a few key reasons why virtual classes are such an important part of our journey—and how they continue to bring value to our amazing Island Beats community:

MEETING YOU WHERE YOU ARE. 

Life can be unpredictable. Finding time to show up for yourself can feel like juggling busy work schedules, family responsibilities, and personal commitments. That’s why we’re interested in meeting you wherever you are—literally. Whether traveling or prefer the comfort of your own space, our virtual classes let you stay consistent with your wellness goals.

ACCESS FOR EVERYONE.

Not everyone can make it to our Cleveland studio, and we get it—life can get busy with kids, work, or unexpected plans. Virtual classes are so important. They make it easy for you to stay consistent with your goals on your terms without added stress. And you’ll have the same energy, love, and support that make Island Beats special.

HELP US CREATE THE PERFECT VIRTUAL SCHEDULE.

As we roll out this exciting update, we need your help. We want to make sure our virtual-only schedule works for you. To that end, we’ve created a quick survey to gather your input on class times, formats, and anything else you’d like to see. Your feedback is crucial, and we cannot wait to hear your ideas.

Your voice will shape how we move forward—literally! Virtual is where Island Beats started, and it’s interesting to see it grow. Thank you for being part of this journey. Stay tuned for updates as we finalize our virtual schedule in February, and keep showing up for yourself—whether in person or on the screen.
