Holly Evans is the owner of Hitsona Bardstown. Holly enjoys coaching sessions and looking after the members of our community. Her favorite sessions to coach are partner sessions, they are super fun and energetic. Her favorite exercise is anything to do with squats.
Halie Koch
My favorite exercise is overhead switch rows! This exercise really works your arms with the added benefit of moving your legs as well. I love cardio core and HIIT sessions that push members to do their best and stay moving. A fun fact about me is that I love anything chocolate (besides mint chocolate).
Amber Smith
My favorite exercise is curtsy squats! Definitely love the burn you get in the legs and butt. I absolutely love Core with cards and any HIIT session that includes squat exercises, which is all of them 😁 Fun fact about me is I love purple skittles and anything cinnamon.

3 Great Locations for Outdoor Exercise in Bardstown
Buffalo Lake
If going to the gym is not for you and our Hitsona health and fitness studio in Elizabethtown is near you, you are likely within driving distance of Buffalo Lake. Our high-intensity interval training sessions might give you the stamina to hike the lake’s official trail. This is 3.1 km long and takes around 35 minutes to navigate with an elevation of 15 meters, making it a popular hiking spot. You’ll find this much easier after just a few sessions on our patented HIT machines. As one of the best fitness studios in Elizabethtown, we’re happy to help exercisers of all kinds gain the confidence to walk this trail.
Freeman Lake
After hiking Buffalo Lake, you may want a more challenging location, such as the Freeman Lake trail. This route spans 7.6 km and has an elevation of 35 meters, typically taking roughly 90 minutes to walk. You might require more experience with Hitsona’s Elizabethtown studio sessions before embarking on this trip; and you could even decide to cycle the route instead. Our HIT machines and their full-body workouts can be instrumental in your ability to walk or cycle on this path. As an especially beautiful trail, you can also enjoy the scenery and all it has to offer.
Bernheim Forest
There are over 40 miles of hiking trails in and around Bernheim Forest – with dozens of individual journeys that vary significantly in length. For example, you might decide to follow the Elm Lick Trail which stretches 8 km and could take 2–3 hours, depending upon your pace. If you have enough hiking experience (and confidence in your own ability), you may even choose to walk or cycle the 13.75 km Millennium Trail. It may be a while since you’ve been to the gym but with a Hitsona Elizabethtown membership you’ll be as fit as a fiddle in no time and you may not miss the regular gym workouts because with Hitsona you will have the support of our coaches to strengthen your fitness levels and build the stamina needed to enjoy all the Bernheim Forest trails.

• Hitsona Interval Training Workout
• CrossFit Powerlifting
• ESFC Aquatics Fitness
• EAC Group Fitness
• Evolution Strength & Conditioning
Hitsona Elizabethtown’s high-intensity interval training workout using the patented HIT Machines lasts for only 25 minutes but targets the whole body for excellent calorie burn results both during and post exercise. You won’t find the scientifically proven HIT machine in the local gym, only in our Hitsona studio. CrossFit offers a wide variety of exercises (such as powerlifting and squats) but has less thorough monitoring and support. This means you may struggle to keep track of your own progress or specific needs.
Community is once again a key part of how we work, and our local Elizabethtown fitness coaches know exactly how to help all of our members feel included during our workouts. We use the group format to encourage everyone to push each other (and themselves) to their reach their goals.

How is attending your Hitsona, Elizabethtown vs. home or gym workout different?
While you can see a lot of benefits from a home workout with the right exercise plan, you miss out on the high levels of support that a studio environment could afford you. For example, unless you invest in a home trainer, you won’t have somebody continuously motivating you and offering feedback on your technique. This will also deprive you of the group setting that makes Hitsona Elizabethtown workouts so popular and effective among our members. Sometimes going to a busy gym can also make you feel isolated as it lacks a community atmosphere, can be intimidating especially for the reluctant exerciser.
Our fitness studio also lets you access patented HIT machines which make your workouts even better in less than half an hour. If you stick with a home class, you might be exercising for longer while receiving fewer benefits. For this reason alone, it’s definitely worth making the journey to your Hitsona Elizabethtown not the gym and don’t work out alone at home. Home workouts are useful for some, but a professional studio can help you to maximize your potential and get the you the best results helping you feel healthy and happy.
