Indoor Surfing Catches a Workout Wave

This new 3,000 square-foot dance and fitness facility offers a surf-inspired total body workout

Surf's Up in Middletown — but there is no need to wait for the perfect wave. 

A new Middletown fitness studio offers indoor surfing with their SURFSET fitness class, which is a total body workout on a surfboard. The class packs in core work, cardio and strength training into one 45-minute session.

“You are so busy balancing on the board, before you know it, 45 minutes has passed,” said Christopher Barker who opened the studio this month with his wife Sara this month. 

Zumba, yoga and dance fitness classes are also offered. 

Grand Opening

The studio will host a grand opening open house this Sunday, June 30 from 4 until 6 p.m. at 1038 Aquidneck Avenue, 2nd Floor, Middletown. There will be appetizers, a SURFSET fitness demo, one-time specials and dancing.
