While some people may prefer a solo run or to pop in earbuds for a weights session, at Bryony & Birch, we’re all about group training.
For starters, we know how hard it is to find the motivation to even show up to a workout when you have a never-ending to-do list as well as the last season of that Netflix show you’ve been binging calling your name… When you commit to a class, you hold yourself accountable, which increases your likelihood of showing up and actually raising your heart rate, which increases your body’s production of happy chemicals like dopamine and serotonin! Yew!
Second, group fitness is a great way to connect with people who are likely to value the same things you do. It doesn’t matter if you’re new to Amesbury or simply looking for people who want to feel stronger and more centered, stepping out of your comfort zone and into a new group of individuals could be the exact energy exchange you’ve been looking for.
And third, there are loads of benefits of doing Bootcamp style classes:
Benefits of Bootcamp Workouts
- More accountability (You’re more likely to show up AND work harder)
- More variety in your workout (You’re less likely to get bored or plateau)
- More bang for your buck (Designed to work your whole body while building muscle and increasing your cardiovascular fitness… basically: two birds, one Bootcamp)
- More opportunities to socialize with people who encourage you to live a healthier lifestyle
- More cost-efficient (They require less equipment to run the class.)
- Can be done both indoors and outdoors (Keeps things exciting all year round!)

What is Bryony Bootcamp?
At Bryony & Birch here in Amesbury MA, we’re lucky to have a lot of highly skilled personal trainers and yoga instructors. While we offer loads of yoga classes and personal training, one of our most popular offerings is the Bryony Bootcamp.
Bryony Bootcamp classes are designed for all levels of experience. Together, we focus on strengthening the core so we can more efficiently tone the rest of our bodies while protecting our spine.
As lovers of a full-body workout that mixes traditional calisthenics and bodyweight exercises with interval training and strength training, no class is ever the same and often brings in elements of yoga.
During the warmer months (and when weather permits, all classes are held at the Lower Mill Yard/Heritage Park.

Meet Bryony Bootcamp Trainer, Kiana Morano
As soon as Kiana Morano took her first steps, it was clear she was a natural-born athlete. Starting with gymnastics and then eventually gravitating towards lacrosse and volleyball, Kiana had an exciting athletic career right through college.
Today, she specializes in corrective exercises, strength training and most importantly- balance.
Kiana loves working with all people whether they are 8 or 80. By coaching them and showing them what confidence in the gym looks like and how it translates into confidence in life, she’s able not only to change a person’s physique, but also their mindset.
In fact, her favorite cue, which will be ingrained into each student’s head is, “Keep your chin up!”.
When Kiana isn’t in Tree Pose, she’s usually among the trees, hiking with her dogs Nala, Maverick and Ari.
Her goal for herself and others is to connect the mind and body so intimately that each person becomes a stronger, more grounded version of themselves.
