CLASS DESCRIPTIONS

kettlebell training will help kick all your fitness goals into high gear!  Compound exercises work multiple muscle groups simultaneously, developing strength and muscular endurance and efficient caloric expenditure.  With a focus on integrating breathing, movement and alignment with your ability to control balance and weight.  Working with the kettlebell is combined with jumping rope and body weight exercises for an all around heart-pumping workout.

kettlebell  circuit  Take some classic kettlebell moves, add some new kettlebell moves, vary the mix with battling ropes, clubbells, gymsticks, sandbells, Lebert Equalizers, TRX suspension trainers, and body weight exercises, and experience an overall workout which will tax your endurance, demand your focus, stress every muscle in your body and leave you in a lather.  Sounds like fun! This class is held the first Saturday of each month.

6☮+ kettlebell training is a strength and mobility class for the healthy and mobile 60+ population.  The functional strength and muscular endurance benefits of kettlebell training are easily modified to adapt to the needs of the older participant.  Instead of attempting to adjust to the sometimes frenetic workout programs designed for a younger cohort, older adults will find much to challenge them in a comfortable setting with this program.

lebarre class combines dance-inspired conditioning, ballet barre training, and use of the Lebert Equalizer to create a workout suitable for participants of all fitness levels.  This workout combines balance, agility, resistance, core and stretching in a unique format which you can do as a straight-up fitness class or to which you can add your inner-dancer flair.  It is a challenging full body workout and provides the variety which standing Barre classes cannot. Fun and sweaty! No dance experience or pink tights required!
