Aerobics and Exercise Classes

Aerobics Calender

TABATA

Tabata is a high intensity interval training workout. Tabata was discovered by Japanese scientist Dr. Izumi Tabata and a team of researchers from the National Institute of Fitness and Sports in Tokyo. The structure of the program is: workout hard for 20 seconds, rest for 10 seconds. Complete 8 rounds. You push yourself as hard as you can for 20 seconds and rest for 10 seconds until you complete 8 sets, after which you earn a one minute rest! In my Saturday morning class we warm up for about 10 minutes first, complete the Tabata training for 20-30 minutes, finish with abs segment and full body stretch. I have “Tabata boards” posted in front of the room showing each set of exercises and a high and low impact alternative. You will leave feeling exhausted but amazing!

cycle AND sculpt

No matter what the weather is like outside you can always come and ride with me. The class is perfect for all fitness levels and will allow you to get the workout that you came to get. Cycle will push you through the hard hills and motivate you to go just a little bit faster. Space is limited. Sign-ups begin on Mondays at 6 am for the current week.

bODY bLAST

This is a barbell class that will sculpt, tone and strengthen your entire body, fast! Focusing on low weight loads and high repetition movements, you’ll burn fat, gain strength and quickly produce lean body muscle conditioning. Body Blast is one of the world’s fastest ways to get in shape as it challenges all of your major muscle groups while you squat, press, lift and curl.

SS bOOM

MOVE: This fun, dance inspired workout improves cardio fitness with easy to follow moves set to energizing movement.
MUSCLE: This class incorporates athletic exercises that boost overall fitness. Move through muscle conditioning blocks and activity specific drills to improve strength and functional skill.
MIND: The best from yoga and Pilates are combined into a fusion class designed to relax the body and mind. The focus is on core muscles, lower body strength and balance.

KICK, BOX & CRUNCH

Are you looking for a total body workout that totally kicks butt? Then come check out our highly motivating and easy to follow total cardio kickboxing workout for non-stop calorie burn and fun. This does not involve physical contact but combines elements of boxing, martial arts and aerobics to provide overall physical conditioning and toning.  It is a high intensity, high impact form of exercise that can help reduce and relieve stress! It's a heart pumping workout using a series of punching and kicking drills that targets every muscle of the arms and legs while burning calories and creating strong, shapely arms, legs and glutes.

BEATS

This class will incorporate drumsticks to sweat, sculpt and rock out during the fun full body workout. You will challenge your lower half and increase your heart for an intense cardio session. Fun music has you beating to the BEATS.

Cardio Circuit

A moderate intensity class divided into short segments of cardio combinations and resistance training using weights, resistance tubing and small handheld balls. A low impact, fast paced hour with modifications for all fitness levels.

Silver Sneakers

Silver Sneakers focuses on strengthening muscles and increasing range of movement for daily life activities. Participants can use hand-held weights and a Silver Sneakers ball. Often a chair is used for seated exercises or standing support.

HIIT ABOVE THE BELT

High Intensity Interval Training with an emphasis on arms, shoulder, back, chest and core.  Using weights, fitness bands, balls, and body weight to strengthen and tone the upper body and core muscles.  This class can be modified for most fitness levels.​

SILVER SNEAKERS ENERCHI

​Silver Sneakers EnerChi combines easy to learn tai chi forms and qichong exercises to improve well-being through mindful movement.  While learning and practicing forms, attention is given to transferring weight smoothly, maintaining postural control and focused breathing techniques.  Benefits  include increased muscular endurance, improved balance recovery and a calm mind.  Chair support is offered to facilitate standing stability and seated exercise options.

yOGA

Hatha yoga is generally slow paced and gentle and provides a good introduction to the basic yoga poses. Like Hatha, Vinyasa is a general term that is used to describe breath-synchronized movement. It tends to be more of a vigorous style based on the performance of a series of poses called “Sun Salutations” in which movement is matched to the breath. Vinyasa classes typically start with Sun Salutations to warm up the body for more intense stretching or instruction for individual poses later in the class. Since participants have varied experience with yoga and may be at different fitness level, we combine these two styles to make our class manageable for everyone. Yoga blocks, pillows, blankets, mats and straps are provided in limited supply (if you have your own, please bring them)

BOOT CAMP

This class will transform your body, burn mega calories and trim your muscles.  This one-hour class has challenging activities and power drills to help get you into shape.

hiit

High intensity interval training (HIIT) is a form of interval training, a cardiovascular exercise alternating short periods of intense anaerobic exercise with less intense recovery periods. It pushes you to give 100% effort through quick bursts. This type of training gets and keeps your heart rate up and burns more fat in less time.

FUSION!

When participants see a Fusion! class in action, they can’t wait to give it a try.  This class is where dance and fitness meet.  Get your sweat on moving to some great tunes, while enjoying the flair, style and challenge each instructor bring to the class.  Fusion! Is a must cardio addition to your fitness routine.  It is easy to do, effective and totally exhilarating.

pha TRAINING

 Peripheral Heart Action Training is a system that was developed by Dr. Arthur Steinhaus in the 1940’s and brought to the forefront of the muscle world by the 1960’s by legendary body builder and Mr. America/Universe title holder, Bob Gajda. The PHA method was specifically designed to keep blood circulating throughout the whole body during the entire workout. The smaller muscles around the heart are worked first before the larger muscles around the body’s periphery.
PHA is like circuit training, however it differs in its emphasis on not localizing the muscles, but instead increasing heart rate through resistance and movement combined. This is an effective method for making exercise more tolerable by eliminating prolonged burning feelings in the muscles, creating a more compliant exercise program.

tAI cHI

Tai Chi involves a series of movements performed in a slow, focused manner and accompanied by deep breathing. It is a noncompetitive, self-paced system of gentle physical exercise and stretching. Each posture flows into the next without pause, ensuring that your body is in constant motion.

CARDIO CORE

Cardio Core is a high intensity cardio class incorporating elements of HIIT, Tabata, plyometrics (jump training) and cardio step. This program is designed to increase aerobic capacity and burn fat while engaging core muscles for maximum strength. 

STRONG TO THE CORE

​A total body strength training class with a concentration on balance and the deep stabilizer muscles of the core.   Compound movements keep the heart rate elevated as we work each part of the body while moving to the upbeat music, with very little rest between sets. Barbells, hand-held weights, fit balls, and other tools are used to keep this workout fresh.  Modifications are offered. 

FLASH FUSION!

WOW! A 45 minute session that will leave you ready for the weekend!  Enjoy this cardio/toning workout where dance and exercise meet.  This class is for those who love music & motion and is suitable for all fitness levels! ​

TRIPLE "A"

This 30-minute class focuses on toning your abs, arms, and...you know...a**.  During this class, there is very limited to no cardio.  We focus on toning each section of the three As for 10 minutes each.  Our toning equipment includes body weight, resistance bands and weights.  This class is moderate to advanced in intensity, but can be tailored to all fitness levels.  It’s only 30 minutes; you can do anything for 30 minutes!
