GROUP EXERCISE CLASSES
Our group exercise classes are designed to increase your cardiovascular health, strengthen your muscles and improve your flexibility and balance. Classes are taught by instructors certified in their fitness disciplines and are held on our cushioned hardwood floor, mirrored to ensure proper position and form.
CLASS DESCRIPTIONS
Abs and Buns
A ½ hour class following the Power Step class that targets abdominals and gluteal muscles.
Begining Spin
½ hour routine on Schwinn stationary bike being coached enthusiastically to workout to your potential. You may join the class for the last ½ hour sculpt (with free weights) and abdominal emphasis on the aerobic floor.
Body Sculpt
This workout covers all major muscle groups. Uses weights, tubing and a step with the focus on perfect form and technique. You will love the results! Concludes with abdominals, lower back muscles and a well-earned stretch!
Cardio/NIA
See NIA below.
Dance Fitness
Fun and sassy! Starts with an energizing warm-up and stretch. Clear, easy to follow instruction of jazz moves. Then let the music begin! Find your inner dancer. No prior dance experience necessary.
Flex-Stretch Yoga
Using yoga as inspiration for ways to enjoyably stretch tight muscles while strengthening muscles needed for balance. Lots of fun, use props like chairs, bolsters, blocks & straps.
Healthy Back
Mild stretching and muscle toning standing and/or lying on a mat with occasional use of light weights, balls or stretch bands. Exercises are performed slowly and carefully with modifications given as needed. A wonderful, safe way to exercise..
Kundalini Yoga
Through chanting, breathing techniques and mild exercises, creates a balance of physical, mental, and spiritual consciousness by uncoiling stored energy. Feel transformed and become a partner in your own healing.
Low Impact
A class for all fitness levels. A great cardiovascular workout that allows one foot to always remain in close contact with the floor to minimize stress on the muscular-skeletal system or jarring to the body. Includes a warm-up and cool-down. Guaranteed cardio workout.
NIA (Neuromuscular Integrative Action)
A cardiovascular workout combining mind, body and spirit. Working all body muscle groups by blending the disciplines of tai chi, yoga, martial arts, modern and ethnic dance. Each movement is taught on levels to fit your body. Inspiring music invites movement that is graceful and powerful. (Usually done barefoot or in dance shoes.)
Pilates - Mat
A complete coordination of body and mind. A body balancing system that strengthens and lengthens, realigns and defines your body. Endurance, control, gracefulness and strong, lean muscles are only a few of the incredible benefits of this wellness system. One-on-one personal sessions on the Pilates Reformer and/or Trapeze Table are available at an additional charge.
Power Step
A superior fat burning workout that is high powered and challenging - not for the faint of heart. Step up and down to great music on a platform with your choice of risers. Delivers incredible cardiovascular benefits as well as conditioning and toning both legs and buttocks blocks and straps.
Stretch/Strength
Gentle stretches for the whole body beginning with feet using special “pinkie” balls (can be purchased for home use). Most of the stretches involve strengthening opposing muscles while the muscle being stretched is delightfully lengthened. Using bolsters, rollers, body balls, blocks, straps or sand bags, it is anything but boring.
Total Body Conditioning
Boost your metabolism with a snappy aerobic warm-up followed by strengthening exercises using free weights. 1-10 lb hand weights are available to accommodate all fitness levels. Build bone density while having fun.
Yoga
A form of movement for all levels to promote balance, flexibility, strength and relaxation through various postures and breathing techniques. Yoga is beneficial to circulation, the internal organs and improves overall sense of well-being.
General: Wear comfortable and loose fitting clothing and appropriate shoes where applicable. Also, please make every effort to arrive on time as proper warm up prevents muscle injury and late arrivals often will disrupt the class. If you have any further questions, please contact Chris. Thank you and enjoy!
