Group Classes
ACTIVE RECOVERY
In this 30-minute class, we will use foam rollers and tennis balls to focus on actively rolling muscle groups like quadriceps, hamstrings, and back, as well as offering trigger point release via tennis balls to help loosen the muscles of glutes, hips, and shoulders. The purpose of this offering is to teach members to self-massage and ease tension in the body from overworked muscles, mange pain and prevent injury. Think of this class as a tune up for the body so it can function more optimally.FUNCTIONAL FIT
Functional Fit is a well rounded full body workout that combines traditional large muscle calisthenics, such as lunges, squats, and pushups, with weight distribution and balance exercise that strengthen smaller supporting muscles. The results are long lean lines, more functional strength, wider range of motion, and better balance and posture. We will use a mix of light and heavy hand weights, and spend some time on joint stability by moving our bodies dynamically in all directions.
YOGA Flow
Stretch and strengthen in this all levels yoga class. If you are looking to prevent injury by gaining flexibility, reduce pain in your knees and back, gain better posture and body awareness, or are looking to learn how to take deeper breaths and relax, this class is perfect for you! It requires minimal equipment and will leave your feeling refreshed and centered.
MAT PILATES
Mat Pilates is all about core strength and spine health. Using classic mat Pilates exercises, you will strengthen your core, work on mobility and flexibility of the spine, and get stronger and taller. This is a great cross training workout for Golf and Tennis athletes looking to tighten their core and their swing!
BARRE FIT
Barre Fit is a workout technique inspired by elements of ballet, yoga, and Pilates. It focuses on low-impact, high-intensity movements designed to strengthen your body in ways that few other workouts can. In addition to building strength, this full-body workout also develops agility and flexibility, and helps lengthen your posture. You will use the barre and your body weight to focus on high reps to engage smaller, supportive muscle groups. We also incorporate tools like resistance bands, ankle weights, free weights, Pilates rings, and exercise balls to challenge the body and keep it guessing!
CHAIR FIT CLASS
We are very excited to be offering this new all levels fitness class, geared toward folks of all ages that are looking for some gentle movement based exercises. What better way to work out than (partly) sitting down! Get a full body workout using resistance bands, body weight and a chair.

ZUMBA
Zumba is a Latin-based dance fitness class with a variety of different music and routines, including salsa, cumbia, merengue, reggaetón, bachata and hip hop. In our Zumba classes, we will dance to about 10 to 13 songs, each song having about 4 moves. The moves are simple and repetitive, making it easy to understand and execute. Zumba is all about having fun, getting a good sweat on, making new connections with people and feeling proud of yourself!

Feeling supported by water, and with no impact to the joints, you use resistance to strengthen and lengthen muscles, lubricate and heal joints, all while not breaking a sweat! This class can be as challenging or as therapeutic as you want it to be. If you want to work on pelvic stability, core and upper body strength, add aqua ankle weights, and webbed gloves!Wellness Events
