Group Exercise Class Descriptions
SPINNING- It’s the original and most popular group spinning class. You’ll torch an average of 500 calories per 45-minute ride.
You’ll enjoy a heart pounding yet low impact workout while maintaining the ability to go at your own pace.
HIIT -High Intensity Interval Training — is a training concept that revolves around alternating short periods of intense exercise with
less intense recovery periods. Take on strength training, as well as improving overall cardiovascular fitness.
All exercises can be modified to fit your fitness level.
Our HIIT workouts will also focus on the core, allowing us to improve posture and overall stability.
Every class will be a little different, providing a means of exploring alternate methods for getting stronger and making ourselves
healthier.
YOGA- Improve your flexibility, balance, strength, and relaxation skills using various postures and breathing techniques.
A great calming but energizing workout!
PILATES- An inspiring mat-based class that consists of exercises to highlight core, strength, joint mobility, range of motion and
consistent flow of movement. Props may be used to intensify the workout while focusing on the mind/body connection.
Pilates focuses on the core postural muscles which help keep the body balanced and which are essential to providing support for the
spine. Equipment such as the stability ball, weighted ball and weights can be used with exercises to teach awareness of breath and
alignment of the spine, and aim to strengthen the deep torso muscles. Great for all levels.
CIRCUIT – This class is a high intensity 45-minute total body training.
Excellent class to strengthen and tone the entire body while working with a variety of equipment: weights, tubes, Body bars, Bosu,
etc.

BOXING- This class teaches the basic boxing stance, basic footwork, and how to throw a punch while also gradually building up your
stamina, strength, and endurance.
ZUMBA- A high-intensity interval training workout driven by the music.
Using your body weight as resistance, work your whole body, gain endurance, strength, and power all while using the music as your
motivator!
