Class Description

Body Pump

Body pump uses light to moderate bars and free weights as well as body weight with lots of repetition to develop muscular strength and endurance.  This is a total body workout.

LesMills™

LesMills™ is a platform that delivers, quality fitness media programming in a variety of ways, inviting the participant to experience virtual fitness in a brand new way.

Pilates

A mind-body workout focused on strength, flexibility, stamina, and balance! Be prepared to work your core while using a variety of equipment. The range of modifications makes this class great for everyone from hardcore fitness enthusiasts to populations in need of rehab or prenatal exercise.

Spin

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!

Yoga

Yoga is a discipline where mind body and spirit intersect for a workout. The physical postures and poses a challenge to all muscles and improve flexibility while offering time to clear your mind. The vast variety of yoga formats allows each session, class, and instructor to be unique. This benefits our participants by continuing to engage the body in new movements and challenge muscles in new activities for a more well-balanced workout. Our yoga classes are a journey led by trained instructors who have valuable knowledge and experience to share. Namaste.
