Group Fitness Class Descriptions
ZONE

Never get bored of the same old moves in a high-energy class focusing on your cardio fitness while also building stamina and strength with specific muscle conditioning phases. Having powerful music and an energetic instructor to carry you along will ensure you stay motivated and have fun.

HIIT

Combined elements of high intensity, functional training with low rest periods. Designed to push you to your edge and beyond. Designed for individuals who want that extra push in their workout combining a range of equipment and exercises. Sure to leave you pumped for the day.

Boxfit

Come and experience the drills and skills involved in a boxer’s workout. In this non-contact boxing fitness class you’ll utilize boxing gloves and focus pads in partner work to build physical strength, agility and endurance while also sharpening your mental focus and co-ordination.

Zumba

Take the “work” out of your workout and come and join the Zumba dance party! Once the Latin and World rhythms take over, you’ll see why Zumba® Fitness classes are often called exercise in disguise.

Spin

Stretch

Ease out stiffness or relieve pain in the joints, lengthen tight muscles and improve your general wellbeing with a 30 minute class devoted entirely to stretch. Particularly helpful in prevention of and recovery from injuries.
