Pilates
Mat Pilates
is a unique combination of floor based stretching and strengthening
exercises. It combines elemants of yoga, calisthenics and stretches.
Flowing movements help improve posture, increase freedom of movement,
and reduce physical tension. Pilates is great for any fitness
level. Its benefits are: flexibility, core muscle strength,
balance, body awareness, reduced lower back and neck distress,
improved posture, and improved breathing.
Hatha
Yoga
Hatha Yoga is the most popular system of yoga, from which several
other forms of yoga originated including Power Yoga, Bikram Yoga,
Ashtanga Yoga, and Kundalini Yoga. Hatha Yoga attempts to achieve
a balance between body and mind. It does so by emphasizing the
physical poses (asanas) and breathing techniques (pranayama).
Benefits derived from yoga include: flexibility, core strength,
improved concentration and increased will power, stress reduction,
and tension relief. The secret to controlling one's mind can be
unlocked by controlling one's breath. The practice of yoga can
energize the self.
Burn
and Firm
Burn and Firm is a fun, fat-burning, high energy aerobic workout
that includes running, jumping, and plyometrics, followed by comprehensive,
intense muscle conditioning. The muscle conditioning challenges
all major muscle groups in order to raise the body's metabolic
rate and tone the body. The workout is completed with complementary
stretching to enhance the strength training effect and relax muscles.
Body
Sculpt Circuit
Body Sculpt Circuit is a total body workout utilizing light weights
and variable impact aerobics to sculpt and tone. It's a great
high-intensity class with the best of fat incinerating aerobics,
muscle conditioning, and abdominal work segments interspersed
with fundamental yoga to increase flexibility and energy.
Cardio
Fit Circuit
Get moving and motivated with this heart-pumping, high energy
group fitness class called Cardio Fit Circuit. It combines a challenging
muscle conditioning resistance workout emphasizing intense leg
and glut work, upper body sculpt, and abdominal work, with a combination
of interval training on the cardio machines, altering speed and
incline for maximum intensity. Our most challenging class.
Abs
Blast
Abs Blast is a 30 minute abdominal class where most newcomers
witness improvement in abdominal tone within weeks. Learn to condition
the abdominal muscles more effectively by directly targeting them
and by working the abs from a variety of angles. Remember core
strength is the key to functional strength and a healthy back.
Power
Yoga (flow version)
Power Yoga (flow version) lets you tune in, chill out and shape
up, all at the same time. Flow yoga is a blend of functional strength
and functional flexibility practiced with the rhythm of the breath
to bring about a greater awareness of muscle imbalances in the
body. It affects total body fitness by improving muscle flexibility,
strength and endurance. It helps to create a balance between energy
and calm, reducing stress and tension. It can also positively
affect concentration, creativity and the immune system.
