Group Fitness at Big Vanilla Arnold will help you become a part of something really special. It is your chance to explore a way of taking your fitness level to new heights, and to make friends at the same time! It’s like getting a Personal Trainer for free. Our class schedule has something for everyone - from Group Strength, to Yoga, Pilates, Cycling, Step, Boot Camp, Hip Hop, Belly Dance and Bosu training.

Based on numerous fitness studies that have been conducted over the years, we know that people who work out in a group get better results and stay members longer than machine-only members. Why? It's because of our world class instructors that coach you, fantastic music to motivate you, and other members to help keep you going when you feel like quitting!

Don't worry if you have never taken a group fitness class before. All of our classes are multilevel, which means beginners as well as advanced exercisers are in the same class. The first time you take a group fitness class be sure to tell the instructor you are new to class and if you have any limitations. Our certified instructors will show modifications to high impact and more complex moves so that everyone can enjoy the class at their own pace. You can go at your own pace in any class, and low intensity/impact options will always be shown. We want your first experience to be unforgettable so that you continue to come back week after week. That is our goal.

We offer beginner clinics for Step, Cycling, Yoga and Pilates, two Saturdays each month. Group fitness classes are an excellent way to improve your strength, flexibility, and cardiovascular endurance, as well as improve mind and body awareness. All group fitness classes are free to club members.

Be Well, Be Strong!
