30 for 30 (Spin & Weights)

30-minutes of spin and 30-minutes of weight training. This class gives you the best of both worlds by achieving your cardio and strength workout in one shot.

Body Toning

This class is designed to give participants a total body workout using dumbbells and barbells in addition to your own body weight. This calorie-burning class will get you toned from head to toe while enhancing your overall fitness level. Go at your own pace or choose your own intensity.

Boot Camp

Total body workout that will test your mind and body. Enhance your endurance, strength, agility, balance, speed and power through this high-variety interval training program. 

Gentle Yoga

This hatha practice offers a combination of gentle, yin and restorative asanas in an inviting, peaceful environment as you unwind from your day. Gentle classes provide a chance to slow down and include extended time for meditation, yogic breathwork and relaxation while offering a deep stretch of the connective tissues for the body.

Mat Pilates

A mat based class designed to increase flexibility, core strength and toning. We will be developing an awareness of breath and spine alignment to strengthen the deep torso muscles and increase fluidity and control of the body.

Power Yoga

A high-intensity, calorie-burning class that combines the mental, physical and spiritual benefits of yoga. Power yoga builds strength flexibility, focus and endurance while connecting breath with movement.

Rhythmic Spin

Rhythmic Spin offers a fun way to spin to the beat of the music. You will be "dancing" on the bike as well as challenging yourself through intervals, sprints and hills climbs.

Spin

Utilizing a stationary bike, this indoor cycling class is designed for all fitness levels. Classes focus on drills that build power and endurance on the bike and brief, high-intensity bursts that push past your anaerobic threshold to increase your cycling power all while having fun. 

Vinyasa Yoga

A class that combines the mental, physical and spiritual benefits of yoga. Vinyasa yoga builds strength, flexibility, focus and endurance while connecting breath with movement. Be prepared to sweat and smile. All yoga levels welcome.

Vin-Yin Yoga

Explore the balance of opposites in this combination Vinyasa and Yin class. Where Vinyasa is the Yang high flowing energy, Yin brings a slower energy with passive floor stretches. The Yin and Yang come together to warm the body then allow access to the deeper connective tissue and fascia, restoring balance to the mind and body. All levels welcome and encouraged to explore. Challenges and modifications provided as needed.

Yoga Sculpt

A high-intensity, calorie-burning class that combines the mental, physical and spiritual benefits of yoga. Yoga Sculpt uses light weights to build strength, flexibility, focus and endurance while connecting breath with movement. Be prepared to sweat and smile. 

Zumba

The Zumba workout provides calorie-burning fitness routines through upbeat Latin and urban dance moves. The routines use intervals of fast and slow rhythms to burn fat while toning and sculpting the body.
