Group Training Descriptions:

All group training will focus on functional fitness; exercises that involve some form of pushing, pulling, squatting, lunging, rotation (core), and balance – exercise movements that you use outside the gym in your everyday activities. We don’t use machines (since sitting won’t help you with balance) but incorporate various fitness equipment in the stations.

Circuits – (Includes Move, Active, & Fit Group Training)

After a light warm-up, you will travel through different stations designed to work on balance, agility, endurance, cardio, strength and power. We typically use equipment such as Stability balls, Kettle bells, TRX suspension straps, elastic bands, sleds, battle ropes, agility ladders, and more. Most stations are 30-60 seconds each and you will typically perform 3-4 rounds of circuits with water breaks in between each round. The final 5 minutes will focus on flexibility. Total group training times are 45 minutes.

Tai Chi – (For all fitness levels/ages, separate from other classes)

This is a martial art that utilizes gentle, flowing movements to enhance health in the body and mind. The Mayo clinic lists some of the benefits as: decreased stress, anxiety, and depression; increased mental focus; improved flexibility, balance, and agility; enhanced quality of sleep; reduction in joint pain; reduction in the risk of falls in older adults; and the list goes on!
Even though it’s a martial art, we don’t train for competition, testing, or belts; we teach it as exercise so I encourage any modifications to movements for any individuals in class. The classes are not about perfection of movement, it’s about moving and helping your body and mind relax. Beginning classes focus on learning the moves/postures for the Yang Style 24 Form. After learning the moves, the Regular classes combine the moves into the gentle flowing form you might have seen people practicing in the parks.
