Specialty Classes

Fit for HIIT:
This high intensity interval training class is designed to sculpt and tone your body while incorporating bursts of cardio segments.  This body transforming class is perfect for improving your metabolism and physical fitness.  Are you fit for HIIT?!

Capoeira: A multifaceted martial art combining fighting style, dance, acrobatics, rhythm of body and spirit has evolved within the historical and social context of Brazil, and over the last 30+ years, the world. Come experience this unique way of movement. (You do not have to be a member of the Fitness Center to take this class)

Spinning: A 40-50 minute class where the cycling journey is all terrain (flats, hills, acceleration, jumps, runs) to target a wide range of performance zones (65-95% max heart rates). Students will work aerobically and anaerobically. Heart rate monitors are recommended.

Sivananda Yoga: Basic Yoga exercises, breathing and relaxation, for health of body, mind and spirit. Increase your flexibility, reduce stress and improve your ability to study and concentrate.

Vinyasa Yoga: Not a tradition of yoga, but an element of all yoga traditions, that has been taken by Western practitioners of yoga and developed into a new and unique style of yoga. Vinyasa is the synchronization of breath with movement, and in Vinyasa classes postures are linked together in a continuous and challenging flow.

Aerobic Bellydance: Basic movements such as hip and chest shimmies, traveling steps, arm paths, isolations and undulations.  Belly dancing moves are taught in a step-by-step format with easy-to-follow instructions, skill drills and practices and helpful tips from the instructor.  As your skill level improves, you can also learn advanced arm paths, intricate undulations and layered hip movements.
