Exercise performed in water strengthens and tones while helping protect muscles and joints. Water provides a medium of resistance to move against that is both supportive and challenging. This class occurs in semi-shallow water, from 3 ½ - 5 ft deep. Ask for floatation belts if you are uncomfortable treading water.
Note: patrons of water-based classes should be comfortable in water and will get wet!
Cycling is a great way to enjoy an exercise session with friends, increase your cardiorespiratory fitness level and burn calories at the same time. Come enjoy the ride!
This class blends sets of cycling (rolling hills, sprints, Tabata sets, standing climbs,etc.) with strength sets using body weight (planks,pushups, squats, lunges,etc.) and some equipment (dumbbells, medicine balls,etc.). It offers a nice combo of aerobic conditioning with some strength training to improve both strength and cardiovascular fitness.
Zumba® classes combine various Latin music and dance styles to create a dynamic and playful fitness party for people of all levels. Once the rhythms take over, you’ll see why Zumba® is like a workout in disguise leaving you feeling tired but also energized and happy!
This class will introduce various dance steps with historical Jazz roots from the 1930’s and 1940’s such as the Charleston and Lindy Hop. Class will involve a combination of practicing the technique of the steps individually and then folding those steps together to provide a fun dose of cognitively enriched exercise. There will also be some choreographed routines that show up on occasion. Come try something new!
Begin your morning with a Hatha-Vinyasa style yoga practice. Incorporating breath control and meditation, this class will gradually awaken the body and mind, finding movement to a slightly slower-paced vinyasa flow. This well-balanced practice can help regulate the nervous system, helping you feel revitalized and ready for your day. Many modifications and variations to poses will be offered, welcoming new and long-time practitioners of yoga alike.
