Class Descriptions

Class offerings will change from semester to semester, but these are the types of classes we may offer at any given time.

  • Barre is a high-energy program focusing on strength, flexibility, stamina, and dynamic stability. It is full-body sculpting using the ballet barre and small, isometric, concentrated movement - paying particular attention to correct biomechanics of movement.

  • HIGH transforms old-school aerobics into a highly addictive new fitness experience that combines simple, modern fitness techniques (i.e. HIIT, plyometrics, etc.) with music you know and love. This results in a high-energy, INTENSE, and crazy fun workout that leaves participants feeling HIGH and wanting more. Our formula alternates between cardio peaks and toning tracks that will take your heart rate to the sky and strength to the next level.

  • Pilates is a great core workout for beginners and advanced alike. This program hones in on the torso and sling muscles that connect your upper and lower body. It’s ideal for tightening your tummy and glutes, as well as improving functional strength and assisting injury prevention.

  • Be ready to climb mountains and speed through intervals while listening to good music. You will want water and a towel for this one for sure!

  • Yoga eases the stress of your day by using dynamic breathing and strong flowing movements for greater strength, flexibility, and range of motion.

  • We take the "work" out of workout, by mixing low-intensity and high-intensity moves for an interval-style, calorie-burning dance fitness party. Once the Latin and World rhythms take over, you'll see why Zumba ®Fitness classes are often called exercise in disguise. A total workout, combining all elements of fitness – cardio, muscle conditioning, balance, and flexibility, boosted energy, and a serious dose of awesome each time you leave class.

  • High-intensity interval training (HIIT) is a popular kind of exercise that involves exerting your maximum energy during short periods of time. HIIT workouts require bursts of high-intensity strength and cardio exercises followed by brief periods of recovery. Come to class prepared to be pushed outside your comfort zone!

  • Aquatic Fitness (Aquafit) is an excellent full-body, low-impact workout that increases cardiovascular fitness and builds lean body mass without increased stress to the musculoskeletal system. We offer a deep water and shallow water class

  • StepIt is a simplified, modernized, energized step aerobics program that has revolutionized the old-school step format. It is a high-energy, low-impact fitness class. Each class incorporates toning/sculpting and choreography that makes every class feel like a party!

  • Surge Fit is high-intensity cardio mixed with high-rep strength training, set to popular music! The workout alternates between cardio songs that increase fat-burning and strength training songs that tone the body.
