Let's Go
To The Park
Meet Alayna
Why Alayna built The Park.
After my son was born, I wanted something that felt like me again. I wanted a hard workout, a beautiful room, and a routine I could actually keep without driving far for it.
I wanted that kind of class and that kind of space here in north Utah County, with stronger coaching, better energy, and a studio people genuinely wanted to come back to.
That is why The Park exists: strong programming, small classes, familiar faces, weekend Signature + Recovery, and Saturday popups that make class feel like part of your life instead of one more thing to rush through.
“I wanted The Park to feel like the place you look forward to all week.”

Your Equipment
Know your machine
You'll train on the ParkCore reformer and learn every spring color, weight, and modification — because understanding your machine is what separates good cueing from great cueing.
Spring System
Every exercise in the manual includes standard springs, an easier modification, and a harder intensification — so you can coach any level.
