Eating late at night isn’t automatically bad for you, but it kinda depends on what you’re munching on and how often. If it’s a once-in-a-while thing, no biggie.

Why Barefoot Training?

At Camp MissFits, we normally work out with shoes on. However, we encourage ladies to train barefoot or with special "grip" socks when taking our Barre or Pilates classes.👣 Why? There are soooo many reasons. Here are our top three: Improved Balance and Stability: Without shoes, your feet can fully engage with the ground, enhancing proprioception (your body’s awareness of its position). This leads to better balance and stability during exercises. Stronger Feet and Ankles: Being barefoot activates smaller stabilizing muscles in the feet and ankles, increasing their strength and flexibility, which can help prevent injuries. Wanna test it for yourself? Try ....
