We have over 46 classes per week!!
Don't worry if you have never taken a group fitness class before. You can
go at your own pace in any class, and low intensity/impact options will
always be shown. We have "fundamentals" classes on a weekly basis on the schedule for yoga/Pilates, cycle and BODYPUMP designed to help you feel more
comfortable. Always make your instructor aware if you are new and if there
are any medical considerations that he/she should know about beforehand. We
want your first experience to be unforgettable so that you continue to come back
week after week. That is our goal.
Our 3 state of the art studios will help make your experience even better.
We have the best equipment on the market and have spared no expense in
providing our members with all the tools to help them get the results they
come to class for. Our mind/body studio has tranquil blue walls, cork
flooring and a warmer temperature to ensure an authentic feel. We have
a separate cycling studio with bold color, and 30 top of the line Star Trac
NXT bikes. The main studio is a 3000 square foot destination that has a
free floating suspended wood floor, high ceilings and big windows
with beautiful natural light overlooking our 4 swimming pools in the back of the club.
Please see our schedule and try one of our classes. If you have any
questions, please feel free to stop by my office (located upstairs to the
left of the mind/body studio). I will be happy to help you in any way that
I can.
