ARTHRITIS GROOVE & MOVE: The Arthritis Groove & Move class is a low-impact exercise program from the Arthritis Foundation Exercise Program (AFEP). The objectives of this class focus on improving functional ability, mobility, muscle strength, and coordination. The class aims to reduce fatigue, pain, and stiffness associated with arthritis. Key activities include multiple exercise activities such as warm-up, range of motion/stretching, strengthening, cardiovascular endurance, and cool down. Balance and coordination activities are included.

BODY SCULPTING: Work all major muscle groups using a variety of strengthening equipment and your own body! This class is designed to build strength, increase bone density, and build lean muscle while toning and shaping your body.

BOOT CAMP: This one-hour class is a low-impact, high-intensity workout with the focus on maximum cardio benefit. We will utilize body weight and a variety of equipment and High Intensity Interval Training (H.I.I.T.) to maximize cardio, strength, and balance.

CIRCUIT TRAINING: Circuit training workouts are an excellent boredom buster! Whether you're lunging, jumping rope, or lifting weights, participants will rotate through a variety of cardio and strength-based stations for a total body workout. There are endless circuit weight training benefits. Come to a class and see for yourself! The stations are designed for you to work at your own pace; you can make the exercise hard or modify it. The nice part about a circuit class is that if there is a station that doesn’t work for your body, you can just move on to the next one. Tight on time - no worry - run in and hit as many circuits as you have time for. All levels welcome!

PILATES W/ WEIGHTS: Classical Pilates with small hand weights to sculpt upper body and lower body, as well as abs, finishing with a deep stretch.

TABATA SPIN BOOTCAMP: Get ready for a combination cardio and strength training class to get your day started. Spin for 25 min, then get off your bike for 25 min of Tabata strength training using mostly dumbbells and bodyweight exercises, and end with a 5-10 min full-body cooldown stretch. Appropriate for all levels, modifications will be shown as needed.
 
Tabata is a workout characterized by 20-30 seconds of effort followed by 10-15 seconds of rest, repeated for a total of eight rounds (approx. 4 minutes), followed by  2 minute break to recover.

YOGA FOR STIFF PEOPLE: Whether you are young or old, fit or not, yoga has the power to calm the mind and strengthen the body. In this class, you will move slowly through the basic yoga poses, aligning the breath as you move, and modifying or intensifying the poses as you desire. These poses are building blocks to help you create your own yoga practice.
