Our fitness classes are designed to accommodate people from age 12 to 90+.  Each participant is encouraged to progress at their own rate.  It is our job to offer the challenge and the participant's responsibility to respond according to their fitness level.  Each class begins with an outdoor warm-up followed by a short walk/run.  The rest of the class is conducted indoors - following the general descriptions below.

 

What can being physically active do for you?

Heart Health: Can cut the risk of heart disease almost in half, and also may help prevent major risk factors, such as obesity and high blood pressure.

Cholesterol Control: Can improve blood cholesterol profiles by raising HDL levels (good cholesterol) and lowering triglycerides, another fat carried in the blood.

Muscling out Fat: Improves the body muscle-

to-fat ratio by building or preserving muscle mass.  This increases calorie-burning efficiency to reduce body fat.

Bone Support: Seems to slow bone loss associated with advancing age; a major cause of fractures in later life.

Insulin Enhancement: Enables the body to use insulin more efficiently, helping to control adult-onset diabetes.

Cancer Check: By combating obesity, appears to lower the risk of certain cancers, particularly cancers of the breast, colon, and uterus.

Aerobic Improvement: Slows the decline in aerobic capacity (the maximum volume of oxygen the body can consume) that is associated with aging, thus improving the cardio-respiratory health.

Weight Control: When combined with proper nutrition, food choices, and proper portion sizes, physical activity helps control weight and prevent obesity.  Obesity is a major risk factor in many diseases.

Attitude Adjustment: Reduces anxiety and depression, improves self-esteem, and helps in stress management.


Cardio Kickboxing
Monday, Wednesday, Friday 6:00 am - 6:50 am

This class includes cardio activity associated with running, punching and kicking.  Instruction is given for receiving the greatest benefit and using the proper form for injury free exercise.  Punching bags, weights, and jump ropes are used.  Music is upbeat and promotes mental stimulation toward greater output of energy.  Group participation and support also provides necessary motivation toward continued participation.  Elements of fitness are addressed in various manners. These include flexibility, balance, self-confidence, personal development, spirituality, strength building, breath control and nutrition.

Core Strength and Weight Training
Tuesday, Thursday 6:00 pm - 7:00 pm

This class affords each student more individual instruction and encouragement.  Each student is challenged through running and rapid movement along with lifting weights.  This has proven to be the secret of weight loss and the building of bone density.  Another portion of the class is dedicated to core physical fitness, which involves push-ups, bench press and abdominal work.  Exercise intensity increases as students strengthen.  Other aspects will include balance, flexibility, movement, and grace; taught through a variety of exercise forms and stretching.

Martial Arts Classes
Adults and Teens Thursday 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm

Many martial arts styles are represented in this unique environment.  Karate and Jujitsu are the primary constituents.  The level of exercise is advanced beyond our other classes, while the instruction is also at a much higher level.  This class offers fast moving warm up with deep stretching to allow for the intense activity to follow.  Intense activity includes rolls, falls, throws, sparing and grappling which are taught in this class.  The Jujitsu instruction includes small circle defense techniques developed by internationally acclaimed Jujitsu master, Professor Wally Jay.

Custom designed weekend seminars are also available.  Free consultation appointments are offered as well.

Charges at this time are $10.00 per week payable monthly for each class listed above.
