Equipment Orientation (Available upon request)
This is a 30-minute class for beginners or those who want a refresher on some of our strength and cardiovascular equipment. The instructor will explain and demonstrate 3-8 pieces of equipment. After the demonstration, you will have an opportunity to try the equipment yourself. Instructors will also answer any basic questions you have. In addition to the orientation class, you can schedule a one-on-one orientation session.
Keep in mind, if you are looking for a specific program, please schedule a MicroFit test and personal fitness training sessions.
Insanity
Unlike traditional, old-school workouts that feature short bursts of maximum intensity with longer periods of rest, INSANITY flips that formula upside-down. INSANITY uses MAX Interval Training, which replaces traditional moderate-intensity exercise with maximum-intensity exercise, and trades short intervals of intensity for short periods of rest. Adding high-intensity exercise forces the body to use fast-twitch muscle fibers not normally engaged in cardio exercise. These fast-twitch fibers continue burning fuel even during lower-intensity exercise.
Lunch Express (LXP)
Mixing strength, cardiovascular, and core training in only 45 minutes. This class is geared toward functional strength improvement and uses a variety of non-traditional tools and training styles.
MicroFit™
MicroFit gives a comprehensive fitness evaluation that evaluates flexibility, blood pressure, resting heart rate, aerobic endurance, body composition, and strength. This baseline information is used to help you establish exercise goals, based on the results of each aspect of the test. This tool can be used to track and measure success over time. MicroFit should inspire and motivate you to live a healthy lifestyle.
Power Pump

TRX Training
