Ball Class

Improve your "core" strength to facilitate the transfer of power, speed and strength between upper and lower body movements, gain flexibility and most importantly to prevent injury to the spine, hips and lower back regions. Stability, flexibility and strength in this area of the body will help prevent orthopedic issues while maintaining a functional lifestyle and improve your game.

Cardio Pump

This class is designed to give you an overall body workout with exercises that will challenge your muscular strength and endurance as well as your cardiovascular endurance.   Get motivated to push a little harder and last a little longer with one of our experienced and passionate fitness instructors.

Zumba

The fusing of Latin and International music creates an exciting mixture of dance and aerobics.  The routines feature interval training sessions where fast and slow rhythms are combined to tone and sculpt your body while burning fat.

Core Training

Improve your "core" strength to facilitate the transfer of power, speed and strength between upper and lower body movements, gain flexibility and most importantly to prevent injury to the spine, hips and lower back regions. Stability, flexibility and strength in this area of the body will help prevent orthopedic issues while maintaining a functional lifestyle and improve your game.

Every Core Class begins with a five minute dynamic warm-up.  Followed by an intense "core routine" that will help get you Beach Ready!  Bring a (crying) towel, some water, and we will provide the motivation.

Reformer Pilates

An exercise in balance incorporating core stability and peripheral mobility through modern exercises and rehabilitation principles. Our method emphasizes “functional” movements that will help the student move more freely in real life.  Ideal for the student with muscular and skeletal imbalances or for those who suffer from injuries. For the advanced-level, fit student exercises may be modified to make this an incredible workout!

Mat Pilates

Well-known for its wonderful ability to restore the spine to its natural curve, Pilates
is great for anyone.  Focus will be placed on finding the neutral spine, maintaining it, then moving through various planes of the body.  Our Pilates method is more functional for everyday life, not necessarily adhering to “classical” methods. Improves posture, balance and flexibility.

Note:  Beginners and First Timers are welcome in this class. You do not need prior instruction to participate in Mat Pilates and the core principles learned will help you stabilize your core and add dimension to any other workout regimen.

Spin

The instructor sets the cadence for this self-paced cycling class, but your heart rate determines the level of intensity.  Beginners and experienced cyclists alike can experience this low impact high intensity cardiovascular workout that focuses on your quads, glutes, and hamstrings without pounding or straining the joints or connective tissues.

X-Spin

We combined Spinning, core, and stretching into one class, creating a "whole body" sense of accomplishment.  Great for anyone wanting to give spinning a try that may not want to jump into an entire hour of only Spinning. This is also a great way ensure you include your core, a priority for good posture, strength and healthy back. Anyone who finds themselves skipping core and could use that little push, or who needs a little more stretch time to reward their muscles for the great work they do for us everyday, should definitely attend.

Yoga/Spin

Our Yoga/Spin combination class is a great introduction to both Yoga and Spinning.  Working with basic yoga poses as well as hip opening poses.  This class gives you 30+ minutes of spin and yoga focuses on opening up the shoulders, hips, hip flexors and some core exercises., bringing length to your muscles after an intense workout.

*Note: Saturday Yoga/Spinn is an 75 Minute Class. Full 45 minute Spin Class followed by 30 Minutes of Yoga and ample time to catch your breath.

Spin-Lates

A self paced class combining Spinning & Pilates. We begin the class with 25-30min of low impact, high intensity Spinning. While keeping your heart rate elevated we'll work our the quads, glutes & hamstrings. Then finishing the class with 20-25min of functional Pilates. We'll focus on strengthening our abs & glutes for improved posture & core stability.
