Strength & Conditioning Classes

This class will utilize resistance bands, kettlebells, TRX® suspension trainers, ViPR PRO®, and other fun equipment to provide a very interactive, high-energy strength and conditioning workout to improve overall health and performance. Each instructor has their own special flair so try them all!
This is a group fitness class tailored to a slightly older demographic than the typical college age. It gives this population the opportunity to build community support and work toward achieving fitness goals together. Objectives are to improve overall health, increase confidence, learn proper movement mechanics and enjoy this fun and motivating environment.
This class infuses the breath into foundational shapes of Pilates to strengthen the core and sharpen the mind. Work through slow and controlled movements of the arms and legs
that challenge the stability of the abdominals to improve posture and overall muscle tone.

Water-Based Classes *NOW IN CORBETT*

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!

This class is delivered on floating mats in the pool! Make a splash in your fitness routine by completing strength and conditioning movements on the unstable and dynamic surface of a Boga Board! Moderate swimming ability is necessary. Be prepared to work hard, get wet, and have fun!

Cycling Classes

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.

Dance Classes

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!

Yoga Classes

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.

This 60-minute class combines fast-paced yoga and Pilates to sculpt both your body and mind. It blends traditional yoga poses with strength training exercises, incorporating
dynamic movements for a full-body workout. Though challenging, this class is suitable for all fitness and yoga experience levels, with adjustments provided as needed. While hand weights are optional, the focus will be on harmonizing mind, body, and breath.

This 60-minute class is dedicated to relaxing and restoring both mind and body, promoting a restful night's sleep. We will practice longer-duration yoga poses typically seen in Yin yoga that are designed to ease tension and relieve stress, with adjustments available to help you accomplish your poses and stretches. Suitable for all yoga levels.
