PULSE class
Pulse class is a low impact, intense, and proven cardiovascular program of isometric exercises and stretches. This class tones your glutes, abs, thighs, and arms; strengthens your legs and back; and improves posture! The interval training sets use your own body weight or light weights for resistance and through dynamic exercises the muscles are overloaded to fatigue then stretched for relief.
ballet bar class
The exercises of this class will combine stretching with strengthening and aim to improve body tone giving participants greater flexibility, cardiovascular stamina and better posture. In particular, this workout will help people think about how they use their bodies. Strength and flexibility will be gained through the use of natural resistance with specific gains in the muscle tone of legs, hips, glutes, and abdominals.
mat class
Mat exercises were originally created by Joseph Pilates. Practiced correctly, these mat exercises are a powerful conditioning program for the entire body. On each exercise, substantial time is devoted to correct breathing, alignment and form. This program promotes functional strength of all the abdominal muscles along with the muscles of the back, resulting in strength and control that enhance your daily activities, sports and recreation. We provide props such as mats, rings, foam rollers, stretch bands, exercise balls, and balance discs to either make a move easier or to add a challenge.
