Muscle Pump Cardio is great but put a little muscle into your workout by joining us for a class designed to build muscle endurance with low to medium weights and high repetitions. This is not a cardio class it is designed to build muscle endurance across all major muscle groups as well as tone, sculpt and strengthen your entire body without building bulk. Expect your muscles to burn as we use a variety of equipment including barbells, dumbbells, bosus and aerobic steps. (All equipment provided.) Some exercises will focus on isolated muscle groups while others will utilize the entire body simultaneously.

This class is designed to introduce those new to weights as well as challenge those experienced lifters. Pilates An amazing workout focused on strength, flexibility, stamina and balance! Along with a team of physical therapists, sports medicine and extremely diligent fitness professionals, pilates has been refined as one of the safest most effective methods of exercise incorporating modern principles of exercise science and spinal rehabilitation using a variety of equipment. The range of modifications make this class great for everyone from hardcore fitness enthusiasts to populations in need of rehab or prenatal exercise. Spinning A great way to get in a vigorous cardio workout with limited impact on joints. Cycling includes a nice easy warm up, sprints, hills and endurance riding. An energetic instructor will guide you through various workouts but you have to push yourself for maximum effect. Each individual controls their own resistance throughout the class. This exercise class is great for all ability levels and you don´t have to wear a helmet, just wear workout clothes, tennis shoes, bring a water bottle and sweat towel...you´re gonna need it! Spinning w/ Training Wheels Designed for all abilities, from new spinners to seasoned spinners. This class offers an introduction to all the aspects of spinning without the pressure of a competitive atmosphere. Once warmed up the intensity increases and those seeking a rigorous exercise will endure a workout "geared" to make you sweat. This dynamic workout will include a focus on proper body position and form, using the bike to stretch, cadence, gear shifting, various hand positions, seated and standing hill climbs, independent leg muscle isolation. Step and Sculpt This traditional step aerobics class uses power moves incorporating an elevated platform (provided) that burns fat fast. Step aerobics is designed to strengthen the muscles used when stepping up and down. Arms and light weights are integrated for variety, level of difficulty and sculpting the upper body. Yoga Mind, body and spirit are joined together for this workout. The physical postures and poses challenge all muscles and improve flexibility while offering time to clear your mind. Zumba® When participants see a Zumba class in action, they can´t wait to give it a try. Zumba classes feature exotic rhythms set to high-energy Latin and international beats. Before participants know it, they´re getting fit and their energy levels are soaring! There´s no other fitness class like a Zumba fitness-party. It´s easy to do, effective and totally exhilarating, often building a deep-rooted community among returning participants. Zumba Tone® When it comes to body sculpting, Zumba Tone raises the bar (or rather, the toning stick). It combines targeted body-sculpting exercises and high-energy cardio work with Latin-infused Zumba moves to create a calorie-torching, strength-training dance fitness-party.
