CLASS DESCRIPTIONS

Circuit Training
Get the most benefit in a short amount of time. This class alternates aerobic stations and strength training stations for a powerful workout. The Cooper Institute shows that circuit training is the most time-efficient way to enhance cardiovascular fitness and muscle endurance. Check out what this workout can do for you. 

Cycling
This is an intense aerobic workout on a stationary bike. Open to beginners up to advanced riders, of all fitness levels. Instructor-led with themed music: come join us for a high-energy workout! Bring your water bottle. If this is your first time, please come 15 minutes early so the instructor can help set the proper height for the bike.

NEW! Hybrid Grappling
This class is a style of martial art that involves wrestling, joint manipulation, and throwing. This system contains elements of Judo, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Greco-Roman Wrestling, Sambo and Shooto. Hybrid Grappling is a terrific form of exercise and it also provides an excellent opportunity for participants to develop their physical attributes.
All levels of practitioners may participate. While the class is progressive in nature, members can join any time. At the beginning of each class, fundamental techniques are drilled which provides a review time for advanced practitioners and also affords new people a chance to learn basic techniques. Basics of grappling will be covered as well as intermediate and advanced techniques. Classes will be conducted in a friendly and encouraging manner with emphasis on safety and respect.
THIS IS A 2-HOUR CLASS, and will take place in the Combatives/Martial Arts Room. Please wear athletic clothing, and groin protection is highly recommended. View or print the Hybrid Grappling Class flyer.

If this sounds good to you, try this high intensity kickboxing class for a complete workout that will keep your body moving.

Mat Pilates
A system of mat exercises originally put together by Joe Pilates. The mat series is designed to strengthen the musculature of the torso to include the waistline, lower and upper abdominals, obliques and low back. Added benefits are increased flexibility and toning of arms, chest and legs. Emphasis is on controlled breathing and correct technique. All levels welcome. For those with disc or vertebral “issues”, please consult with your physician or speak with an instructor prior to starting.

Step Strength
This class will give you a total workout with cardio and strength training. You will not only get your heart rate up and burn calories, but you will get stronger and more toned. Steps, weights, bands and balls will be used to achieve these goals.

Yoga

Zumba
If you're bored with the "same old thing" in your workout, then joint THIS party! This fitness craze will get your MOVING! Moves are based on Latin dance and music, including cumbia, merengue, salsa, mambo, reggaeton, flamenco, and rumba. Zumba utilizes principles of fitness interval training and resistance training to maximize caloric output, fat burning and total body toning. It is a mixture of body sculpting movements with easy to follow dance steps. Created by Beto Perez in his native Colombia, "zumba" is said to be Colombian slang for "fast". But you'll find a combination of fast and slow movements in this workout.
