Mat Classes (Pilates, Fitness and Cardio)

Pilates Mat is open to students of all levels, as instructors will provide modifications for each exercise based upon each individual client’s needs and experience. This challenging and fun workout includes traditional STOTT PILATES® Mat exercises using a combination of small apparatus for assistance and resistance. Exercises are based upon the five STOTT PILATES® basic principles and focus on spinal alignment, proper form, core strength and stability. Classes include use of various combinations of the stability ball, resistance bands, circles, resistance cords, arc barrels, toning balls, and BOSU® trainers to provide you with a fun, challenging, mindful workout.

HardCore Lift is a traditional fitness class that will guide you through a full body workout intended to build strength and muscle tone. Equipment utilized may include free weights, weighted body bars, medicine balls, resistance tubes and bands, stability balls, BOSU® trainers, etc.

Happy Hour Hit the bar for an hour after a hard day at work! Use the toning and strengthening resistance of the weighted body bar at a heart pumping cardio pace and get a hardcore, fat shredding, muscle toning workout.

HardCore Spin is an indoor cycling class performed on stationary bikes. Your instructor will guide you through a cardio ride of varying speeds, resistance levels and intensities targeted at raising your heart rate, blasting calories and toning your body.

TurboKick® is the hottest kickboxing class around! You'll kick, punch and groove the calories away in this action-packed, super fun, super safe and effective cardiovascular workout. Our classes are intense cardio kickboxing that can burn up to 800 calories in one hour. This class combines boxing, martial arts, plyometrics, sports drills and interval training.

Power Hour (Pilates/Yoga) This hour of power gives you 30 minutes of power Pilates, followed by 30 minutes of power yoga and stretching. Power Pilates is a quickly paced mat workout that flows from exercise to exercise. No props are used in Power Pilates (unless students require a prop for individual postural issues). After a heart pumping, fast paced Pilates mat workout, the class will transition and lead you through a series of stretching, strengthening and elongating positions, with a focus on controlled movements and rhythmic breathing. From the mountain pose to the reclining butterfly pose, you'll improve circulation from head to toe, leaving you with a feeling of pure vitality.

HardCore Cardio Bootcamp is a high-intensity interval training (HIIT) class that combines high-intensity cardio drills with strength and toning intervals to provide the ultimate fat burning, heart pumping workout. A combination of calisthenics, plyometrics, sports drills, and solid conditioning exercises that will define, tone and strengthen your muscles, HIIT burns an average of 600 calories per hour! Not only is HIIT proven to blast more calories than high-volume, lower intensity aerobic workouts such as jogging or running, but it is also FUN! Ditch the boring monotony of the treadmill and get ready to sweat your glutes off! What are you waiting for... let's get ripped! (Bootcamp is indoors during the winter months, outdoors from June - August)

During the summer months, we offer Outdoor HIIT Cardio Bootcamp

Private Training

Personal Fitness Training
Each private session consists of 60 minutes of personal one-on-one training with a certified personal trainer. Personal training sessions are uniquely programmed based on the client's goals and desires, whether it be increased muscle mass and/or strength, training that will compliment a specific sport or athletic training, weight loss, etc. Free weights, weighted body bars, medicine balls, stability and balance trainers, resistance tubes/bands, and various other weight training equipment will be utilized. Each piece of large Pilates equipment such as the Reformer, Cadillac, Stability Chair and Ladder Barrel might also be used in a traditional weight lifting manner, rather than for Pilates exercises.
