Class Descriptions
C.O.R.E.
(Creating Optimal Responsive Exercises) This class will lead you through a variety of exercises specifically designed to strengthen the “core” of the body, by increasing abdominal and back strength. The upper and lower body is worked through a full range of motion to increase load on the core and in doing so, also increase flexibility.
B.L.T.
Our B.L.T. (Buns, Legs and Tummies) class is designed to target all the major problem areas. Be prepared to squat and lunge your way to a better lower body. There is no cardiovascular component to this class, but a variety of exercise equipment may be used such as steps, Glides®, stability balls, or resistance tubing. If you are just starting to work out, please be aware that due to the intense utilization of the major muscles of the lower body, there is a great chance of muscular soreness from this class.
T.B.C. (Total Body Conditioning)
Our T.B.C. (Total Body Conditioning) class is designed to challenge the entire body. In this class, participants will be lead through various drills and movement patterns designed to increase cardiovascular output, agility, power and strength. A variety of equipment may be used to ensure that the body continues to respond and that gains continue to occur. Target your heart, lungs, buttocks, legs, abs, chest, back, and arms all in a one hour workout.
P.U.M.P.
Our P.U.M.P. (Promoting Ultimate Muscular Performance) class is designed to target all the major muscles of the body, including the heart. The breakdown for this class is half cardiovascular training and half muscle conditioning. In the cardiovascular component of the class, you will be taught the basic principles of step training. The muscular conditioning component of the class will vary. Equipment used for this portion of the class may include hand weights, medicine balls, stability balls, Glides®, tubing or bands. We highly recommend this class to anyone who is just starting out!
BODYBLAST
Our bodyblast class is a strength and toning class. There is no cardiovascular component. The design of this class is simple – target every body part! Be prepared to work both your upper and lower body. Equipment will vary from class to class to keep your body “reacting” to the exercises performed. Proper body alignment and training techniques will be demonstrated.
BOOTCAMP
Be prepared to SWEAT! This class is designed to “push”. In Bootcamp, intervals of cardiovascular training will be interspersed with muscular strength or endurance training. The “drill sergeant” will lead you through a challenging array of exercises mimicking training techniques used in the military. Discover your inner strength by pushing the limits of what you “CAN” do. This class will challenge your body and mind.
STEP
Our step class is designed to increase cardiovascular strength and endurance. By stepping up and down on a platform, you will be lead through a variety of choreographed routines. Since the emphasis in this class is cardiovascular, abdominals will be the only muscle group targeted for muscular strength. Due to the choreographed nature of this class, if you have never stepped before, we recommend that you learn the basics of stepping in our P.U.M.P. class.
CIRCUIT / FAT BLASTER
Our circuit / Fat blaster class targets both the cardiovascular system and the muscular system. These are interval training type workouts. In these classes you will learn proper exercise techniques with a variety of equipment. Interval training classes are great for all levels from beginners to advanced because the goal is to “go at your own pace” so that you can “go the distance”. There is no choreography in our CIRCUIT class, while there is minimal choreography in our FAT BLASTER class.
KICKBOXING
Our kickboxing class is a non-contact cardiovascular workout utilizing punching and kicking techniques from both martial arts and kickboxing. Occasionally target pads and gloves are used to practice punching or kicking a target. There are no tests or belts in this class. The class is designed to expose individuals to basic “kickboxing” drills. Discover the sense of empowerment as you punch and kick your way to fitness. There is a short muscular training component at the end of each kickboxing class.
HI-LO
Our hi-lo class is designed to increase cardiovascular strength and endurance without any apparatus. Participants will be lead through a series of movement patterns on the floor. Re-discover your body’s ability to just “move”. This class will end with an abdominal training section.
ZUMBA
Leave your inhibitions at the door, grab a hold of some attitude, and be prepared to party your body into shape. There is no wrong way to do zumba. This class is all about individuality. We combine simple moves with motivating music, and a whole lot of attitude, to bring you a fun workout. Zumba classes are the newest fitness craze. Drop-in and see what the excitement is all about.
YOGA / YOGA-FUSION
Our vinyasa flow YOGA class is designed to increase strength, flexibility and focus. In this class, you will be lead through a series of yoga poses linked together by breath. Feel the energy through your body as you “flow” from one yoga posture to the next. Discover the healing effects of yoga as you allow your body to move inteligently and intuitively. Leave your ego at the door and be prepared to explore and discover your own uniqueness. This class ends with a meditation / relaxation component.
Our YOGA-FUSION class is designed to bring balance to your training. In this class we will combine some basic yoga postures with some core strength exercises, some stretching and relaxation. The class will be yoga inspired but will be fursed with other training techniques/practices to create a well balanced, feel-good experience that will awaken your body and prepare you to conquer your day!
