Fitness classes for Physical Health

All classes are low impact. To complete the stress cycle, many of us need a physical outlet. We may find that our ability to handle change, build resilience, and overcome the stresses of life requires the physical challenge we find in exercise. Also, exercise is one of the easiest ways to improve mental outlook day-to-day.

Mobility

“Mobility Training” is a fitness class focused on enhancing range of motion, joint mobility, and overall functionality. Participants engage in a series of exercises and stretches designed to improve agility at all ages and reduce stiffness, promoting ease in movement. This class can be chair-based OR mat-based.

Hip Mobility for a Desk-Bound Population

Discover relief from hip stiffness caused by long hours at a desk. Mobility in the hips is a blend of stretching and strengthening the supporting muscles and exploring the links in the movement chain. This class blends dynamic and static stretches, functional movements, and exploration to gradually improve the feeling in the hip joint. You may just dance right out of this class!

General Stretch & Targeted Stretch

Learn how to stretch the major muscles of the body in a fun & accessible way. Without stretching we can limit our range of motion and are susceptible to more frequent injuries. This class can be attended in work clothes if you choose. A great morning class before employees get on the factory floor, into the bus or head out for labor-related work.

Core Strength for a Healthy Back

Improve your balance, posture, and inner stability by focusing on your core with yoga & pilates derived exercises. We will use movement, stabilization, and body weight exercises to strengthen, stretch, and tone the legs, gluteal, abdominal, and back muscles. The class is designed for those new to core training exercises and the teacher will accommodate those who are more advanced. This is a great 30 minute mid-week class.

Core Strength for Beginners

Having strong muscles in the hips and trunk can help us in a wide range of daily movements including sitting at our desk with an upright posture and getting up and down off of the floor. In this mat class, we will be teaching the form and function of basic core exercises to make this accessible for the complete beginner, or those returning to exercise.

Pilates for Posture

Pilates is a strength building practice that stabilizes the structure of the body for healthy posture. Pilates breathing techniques coupled with precise anatomy can change the whole way we understand our spine & supportive muscles’ function. Undo the pressure we put on our spine by slouching and staying in the same position all day. You may even see a change in your height!

Body Toning

Use body weight exercise to increase strength, flexibility, tone, and burn calories! Lunge, kick, squat, push-up and sit-up with a group to test your own body’s limits. Open to all levels of experience; couch potatoes too!

Toning & Stretch

One of our most popular classes, this class is great for individuals looking for a low impact, but challenging class. We find all ages enjoy it! Participants will see an enhanced muscular endurance after consecutive classes. This is beneficial to reduce pain when it comes to seasonal activities such as gardening & shoveling, and recovery from sports. Toning and Stretch will also teach the proper form to complement other exercise you do.

Zumba®

If you love music, give this class a try! Zumba is a fun dance class set to Latin, hip-hop and pop music that keeps participants moving their whole body. This class includes cardio, strength, and ab toning even though it doesn’t feel like you are exercising. It improves balance and standing strength. You will leave with a smile on your face.

Fit-ing it in

Often the most difficult thing about exercise is devoting time to do it on a regular basis. We get to it once a week, or once every two weeks, but research shows that daily exercise, even 20 minutes of it, is essential for heart health, slowing aging, and maintaining emotional and mental health. Try this class with Kellie who will teach you a way to create a habit of exercise for 20–30 minutes each day. We will practice a full body strength workout that will be recorded for you (for virtual clients) to use on your own again.
