Group Strength
The Group Strength Program offers the opportunity to receive individual attention in a group setting. A variety of classes are available to provide education, motivation and a personalized physical challenge. Classes include:
Beginning Strength Training for Women (BSTW)
A progressive eight week program that teaches women basic strength training concepts through education and experiences, which will create long-term healthy habits. Participants will meet in small groups twice per week to train and become more comfortable with strength training equipment.
SAFE (Strength and Fitness Essentials)
The key to an effective workout program is learning and practicing the fundamentals of exercise and movement. For this six-week strength series, the focus will be on functional strength and fitness training, developing proper form and technique and learning how to modify a program to best suit individual needs and goals. This is a great introduction to strength training, as well as an overview of proper form for returning participants.
Group Strength Express
Perfect for busy schedules! This six-week program has all the elements of balanced exercise. Elevate your heart rate, strength train and alternate with core strength exercises in just 30 minutes per day.
Circuit
Circuit classes offer a balance of training for muscular strength and endurance, while also focusing on other fitness components, such as power, balance, agility, core stability and strength. This six-week circuit class will offer a variety of progressive movements utilizing fitness equipment, such as BOSU trainers, stability balls or balance trainers, along with FreeMotion Cable poles. Each class is a complete, challenging workout that is individualized to help meet personal fitness goals.
Performance Training
This sports performance focused workout pushes the recreational athlete to a new level, utilizing speed, power and agility drills combined with anaerobic training featuring work and recovery intervals and sport-specific drills. The six-week progression will challenge the individual with plyometric training, explosive power drills and functional strength training.
