Restorative Yoga
Friday at 12:10 p.m.
This blissful, meditative practice encourages participants to rest, relax and let go. There is no “work” in restorative yoga — thick mats and many props are used to support the body with complete relaxation as the ultimate goal. Softness, silence and stillness are cultivated and valued in this practice that will leave you feeling calm and centered.
Spin Class
Thursday at 4:30 p.m.
This class will pump up your day with a 50-minute ride pairing high-intensity intervals, sprints and resistance climbs with energetic music and theme rides. This is a high-energy class encouraged for all levels. Bring tennis shoes, a towel and a water bottle.
STRONG Nation
Monday/Wednesday at 4:30 p.m.
Stop counting the reps. Start training to the beat. This class combines body weight, muscle conditioning, cardio and plyometric training moves synced to original music that has been specifically designed to match every single move. In each class you'll burn calories while toning arms, legs, abs and glutes. Plyometric or explosive moves like high knees, burpees, and jumping jacks are interchanged with isometric moves like lunges, squats, and kickboxing. STRONG Nation instructors change up the music and moves frequently to make sure you're always challenged to the max.
Sweat and Shine
Tuesday / Thursday at 7 a.m.
Start your day off on the right foot with a high-energy workout! In this class we will move through different circuit exercises and focus on strength and resistance training to best prepare ourselves for the day ahead. Go into your day feeling strong!
Swim Fitness
Monday / Wednesday at 12:10 p.m.
All levels of swimming are welcome to join, but you should be able to complete at least 100 yards of continuous swimming. The class consists of three 10-minute self-paced sets incorporating the use of kickboards, fins and pull-buoys (available at the pool), as well as swimming drills to help improve stroke technique. Goggles are strongly recommended.
Vinyasa Vitality
Wednesday at 5:30 p.m. / Saturday at 3 p.m.
Connect your mind, body and breath in this vinyasa class designed for all skill levels. This flow based class will build strength and improve your flexibility and balance, while developing full body awareness.
Yin Yoga
Monday at 5:30 p.m.
A softer, gentler practice, yin yoga focuses on the ligaments, joints and fascia. Rather than building muscle strength, yin’s slow, deliberate pace supports the connective tissues, encouraging the physical body to function in greater harmony. Yin postures are held for 3-5 minutes, challenging these deeper tissues and, over time, building strength, focus, and stamina. Yin is a beautiful complement to other, more vigorous forms of yoga, such as vinyasa or ashtanga, and is a wonderful addition to any athlete’s training regimen.
Yoga Sculpt
Thursday at 5:30 p.m. / Friday at 4:30 p.m.
A 60-minute class that incorporates signature yoga postures, hand weights and cardio bursts that help to boost metabolism and build lean muscles. The class is set to energizing music and is a perfect blend for the mind and body.
Zumba
Tuesday / Thursday at 12:10 p.m.
This class blends Latin rhythms and simple moves to give you a great aerobic workout while having a blast! No dance experience required; must be willing to have fun!
Zumba Toning
Wednesday at 12:10 p.m.
This class brings the dance party you know and love and adds increased resistance through light weights to help you focus on specific muscle groups, helping you — and your muscles — stay engaged.
