Fitness Class Descriptions

Two students participate in a fitness class in Half Acre Gym

Strength and Conditioning

This class will utilize resistance bands, kettlebells, TRX® suspension trainers, ViPR PRO®, and other fun equipment to provide a very interactive, high-energy strength and conditioning workout to improve overall health and performance. Each instructor has their own special flair so try them all!

This is a group fitness class tailored to a slightly older demographic than the typical college age. It gives this population the opportunity to build community support and work toward achieving fitness goals together. Objectives are to improve overall health, increase confidence, learn proper movement mechanics and enjoy this fun and motivating environment.

This class infuses the breath into foundational shapes of Pilates to strengthen the core and sharpen the mind. Work through slow and controlled movements of the arms and legs
that challenge the stability of the abdominals to improve posture and overall muscle tone.

 

Cycling

Cycling is a great way to enjoy an exercise session with friends, increase your cardiorespiratory fitness level and burn calories at the same time. Come enjoy the ride!

Dance

´Ü³Ü³¾²ú²¹Â® classes combine various Latin music and dance styles to create a dynamic and playful fitness party for people of all levels. Once the rhythms take over, you’ll see why ´Ü³Ü³¾²ú²¹Â® is like a
workout in disguise leaving you feeling tired but also energized and happy!

Yoga

 

This is a Hatha-Vinyasa style yoga class. Incorporating breath control and meditation, this class will gradually awaken the body and mind, finding movement to a slightly slower-paced vinyasa flow. This well-balanced practice can help regulate the nervous system, helping you feel revitalized and ready for your day. Many modifications and variations to poses will be offered, welcoming new and long-time practitioners of yoga alike.

Yin is a meditative, grounding, and cooling practice. Poses are passively held for longer (anywhere from 3-6 minutes), creating more physical and energetic space by working into the deep, connective tissues and joints in the body. This practice can help increase flexibility and circulation, emotional awareness and regulation, and reduce stress and anxiety. Yin yoga contrasts and compliments other forms of yoga such as Vinyasa yoga.
