Class Descriptions
Pilates
We offer several types of Pilates classes that blend classical and modern innovative approaches. Mat classes are open to all but classes marked with an * on our schedule require that you are comfortable and experienced using the Pilates machines. If you are new to our Training Center but have done Pilates elsewhere, your first session is a one on one to ensure your are comfortable with our equipment. If you are new to Pilates equipment, than our Foundations classes are the perfect start.
Fusion*
Pilates for strength, length and stability + quick moves and bursts for a different intensity that will have you breathing heavier and working up a sweat. Instructor may use any of the equipment in our space.

Tower*
The Tower configuration is a vertical unit that uses springs with a variety of attachments to provide continual resistance as you move through various exercises.
Strength Over Stress
Stress seems unavoidable in our busy modern lives. It is essential that we find ways to take care of ourselves and limit the very real physical and emotional impact of stress. In this class bootcamp style class, be prepared to sweat as you let off the stress while also getting stronger – physically and mentally – for the rest of your day and beyond. We pair intentional cardio efforts with focused strength training segments.
Boxing Edition
There are a lot of ways to blow off steam and hitting something is definitely one of them! This class will be boxing skills based (not to be used for self defense) that will result in a drenched-in-sweat workout. Boxing is more than punching bags and focus pads; there is agility, core work, coordination and strength!
No experience necessary, but boxing gloves and wraps are required (we do have two spare sets to all you to trial this class.)
Kickboxing Edition
This class combines simple kickboxing moves (non-impact or striking) to ramp up the heart rate.
No kickboxing experience necessary.
Pound Edition
Using Ripstix®, lightly weighted drumsticks, POUND® transforms drumming into an incredibly effective way of working out. Designed for all fitness levels, POUND® provides the perfect atmosphere for letting loose, getting energized, toning up and rockin’ out!
TRX Edition
Combining the awesome customizable strength training of TRX with never boring cardio bursts, this class gets it all in in one hour!
Yoga / Restorative
Rebel Yoga
This class is inspired by yoga and by feeling the flow of the moment and will be as unique as the individuals in the class. Perhaps it flows with the rhythm of hip hop...or grounded in the heavy sounds of alternative rock...or opening to some hippy dippy vibrations...No matter what direction we go, you will leave feeling more stretched, relaxed and grounded.
Aerial Yoga
The perfect combination of restorative and challenging. You will perform many of the traditional yoga poses but with the addition of a fabric hammock as a prop. The supportive fabric will also assist you in more challenging poses and inversions without adding pressure to your shoulders, head or spine - and in fact, inversions may have the added benefit of relieving stress through the back and spine.
All levels are welcome in this class.
MMA - Mobility, Movement and Agility
Einstein wrote “Nothing happens, until something moves.” We can flip that thought around to say that the less you are able to move, the less happens. This class will focus on restoring and maintaining your muscular and joint mobility to optimize your movement, so that you can move fluidly and with agility. Be prepared to use the foam rollers, Pilates equipment and props, and suspension trainers along with your own body.
