CLASS DESCRIPTIONS

Cardio Mix: Mix up your cardio workouts with variety. Cardio refers to any activity that increases heart and breathing rates while using large muscle groups in a rhythmic fashion. In this class we will mix it up with floor and step cardio interval workouts, Zumba, and kickboxing. Get your heart pumping while enjoying variety and fun!

Mid-Day Stretch: Get away from sitting at your desk for 15 minutes. A very mild stretch and movement for the whole body that doesn’t require flexibility. No need to change clothes either! Leave feeling less tension and more relaxed for the rest of the day.

Strength, Cardio & Core Circuit: This circuit class increases the fun element by utilizing a variety of equipment including ladders, Bosu Balance Trainers, medicine balls, suspension trainers, and more. You move from station to station, focusing on a variety of fitness elements from strength and conditioning to balance and power. You control the intensity at each station which makes this an excellent workout for all fitness levels. The variety means you are never bored by the same routine. Get out of the exercise rut and into a groove with the energy of a circuit class!

Yoga: Feel refreshed as you join us for some Yoga. As you flow through Yoga poses you will stimulate the nervous system, increase blood flow and develop coordination. Holding other poses and stretches can help to lengthen along fascial lines and increase range of motion. Tying our movement to our breath increases our ability to still our minds and focus on the present moment. What a great way to relax during the day!
