- Cycling (Studio 3)
- Group Cycling
Group Cycling is an exercise class with bikes available on a first come, first serve basis. Ask an instructor or the front desk for a copy of Group Cycling policies. Cycling is an instructor-lead class on specialized stationary bikes. Different riding positions and varying the wheel resistance gives you a great cardio workout!
- TRX (Studio 3)
- TRX Suspension Training
The movements are distinguished from traditional exercises in that the users hands or feet are generally supported by a single point while the opposite end of the body is in contact with the ground. Your desired percentage of bodyweight is loaded onto the targeted body zone and animated as an exercise movement. This suspension type workout is an ideal mix of support and mobility to train strength, endurance, coordination, flexibility, power and core. “All core all the time”.
