CLASS DESCRIPTIONS

BODY SCULPTING: Tone and define your body using resistance.  This is also a good *beginning*  for those interested in the weight room or those that need help in a variety of different exercises. Exercises are always changing to provide the body with new stimulants. Improves muscular endurance.

EXTREME WORKOUT: A 'boot camp' style class - this class is for the person that needs an extra challenge - taught by a certified personal trainer - challenges all aspects of the muscular endurance, cardiovascular endurance - lots of ab and hip workouts.

HI-LO IMPACT:  This fat burner is a fast-paced workout which includes a great deal of propulsion.   Lo-Impact is non-propulsion class, one foot always remains in contact with the floor during the cardio.

MUSCLE CARDIO: This class uses handweights with movement - sculpt your body while maintaining an elevated heart rate thereby making it a cardiovascular exercise as well as a toning exercise class.

MAT PILATES: A contemporary approach to the "mind-body" exercise method pioneered by the late Joseph Pilates. It incorporates modern exercise science and rehabilitation principles, eliminating contraindicated movements while emphasizing neutral alignment, core stability and peripheral mobility. Flattens, tones and strengthen abs, provides longer, leaner muscles, improves posture, increases circulation, relieves tension and improves body awareness.

STEP:   All STEP classes utilize a platform for stepping up and down while incorporating different arm and foot patterns.  Various class formats are offered to keep you challenged, including intervals where the heart rate fluctuates with varying workloads. MULTI STEP - utilizes 4 steps - you will be sharing steps with other members in the class therefore basic knowledge of step is required - this class is very challenging and is recommended for the intermediate & experienced stepper.   

SPINNING:  It's simple, it's exciting and it's a non-impact cycling adventure on a stationary bike.  Classroom format - all levels welcome as each person is in control of his/her own bike and it's intensity level.

STRETCH CLASS: Simple basic stretches for every part of the body. There are many different ways to lengthen shortened muscles, tightened tendons and ligaments. Find a way in this class that works great for you and continue throughout the week to keep the muscles loose. Some stretches are yoga based but there is no chanting or yoga flow movements. Use of a strap is recommended for those that are very tight. Mats are provided by the club.

TRIPLE PLAY:  20-20-20 Format for healthy Seniors includes cardio, strength training and flexibility training.  Also includes 2 instructors, at least one of which is a personal trainer - FREE to members. Includes spinning, lo impact, step and functional training.

YOGA: Yoga creates a strong elastic body while the work‑out reduces fatigue, soothes the nerves and disciplines the body and mind.  Yoga I is designed for beginners - concentrates on flexibility, breathing and technique.  Yoga II is more advanced and incorporates HATHA postures (physical exercise) and meditation.

ZUMBA: Zumba combines high energy and motivating Latin music with unique moves and combinations that allow participants to dance away their worries. Zumba is based on the principle that working out should be fun and easy to do, which encourages participants to stick to the Zumba Fitness program and achieve long-term health benefits. Zumba is a "feel-good" experience that is great for both the body and the mind!

RULES & REGULATIONS

The rules and regulations below are specifically designed to maximize the benefits of your workout and to ensure your comfort and safety at all times.

1. Classes begin and end promptly. Please be on time. The warm up is important to avoid injury. If you are late, warm up BEFORE entering the classroom (5 minutes on the cardio equipment would be sufficient).

2. Although we do encourage everyone to be friendly, please do not converse with each other during your workout. Please remain in the lobby until the preceding class has concluded. Once class has ended, please take your conversations outside the aerobics area so that the next class can begin on time.

3. Be considerate of other members' space. Do not crowd a member who has arrived in class before you. Although we understand that many of you love certain classes, and that you may have certain limitations and therefore may be restricted on certain moves if you must *do your own thing* please do so in an inconspicuous manner in the back corner of the room. Members participating in a *Multi Step* class, where you will be invading someone else*s space on a regular basis, must follow the instructor*s cues. If you have any restrictions/limitations, please speak to the instructor prior to the beginning of class - the instructor will provide *optional moves* when appropriate.

4. Children under the age of 14 must have the approval of the Aerobics Director prior to participation in class.

5. Please introduce yourself to the instructor so that they can make your workout more enjoyable. If you are not sure what class is appropriate for your ability level, contact the Group Fitness Director for guidance.

6. Water bottles are encouraged during class use. However, because the room becomes very humid during class, all water bottles must have a lid on them and must be placed on a towel so that they do not *sweat on the floor*. All spinners must bring a water bottle to class - THIS IS MANDATORY.

7. If you sustain an injury during the class, you MUST report it to the front desk no matter how insignificant it may seem.

8. Shirts and shoes must be worn at all times for aerobics and body sculpting classes. The use of a towel is recommended.

9. Yoga participants usually bring their own mat for personal hygiene, however, we do provide a few mats.
