Zumba
There is no doubt in the fact that Zumba takes a spin on conventional ideas of exercise and converts it to to an upbeat form of aerobic movement that disguises the effort of regular workouts! A Zumba class offers a series of energetic dance routines that provide a great cardio exertion by mixing low intensity and high intensity moves for an interval-style, calorie burning, dance fitness party. The biggest key to joining a Zumba class is to not be worried about your dance moves, because everyone else is on the same boat! Anyone who loves to dance and is looking for a fun routine that trades traditional, mundane workouts for music-inspired movement would enjoy this type of group fitness class.
Yoga
Yoga is our most commonly requested group fitness class, and most people are already familiar with the concept of it. This type of exercise has nearly a dozen variations of its own, with the most popular styles including Hot Yoga, to Vinyasa Flow, and Gentle Yoga. The exercise itself consists of deliberate, concentrated movements and postures designed to promote flexibility, tone and strengthen muscles, and align the body. Most often, breathing techniques are also encompassed along with the movements, allowing participants a relaxing experience coinciding with the movement. The end of the class typically ends in a ‘Savasana’ or meditative pose on the back to conclude the practice. This class is ideal for someone looking for a relaxing, quiet routine that helps them release the day, while building muscle tone and flexibility.
Pilates
Pilates is commonly compared for it’s similarities to Yoga. While Yoga focuses on strength and flexibility through long held, swift-moving postures and “grounding” positions to help you feel centered and balanced, Pilates brings a heavier element of core focus, with repetitive and small movements of isolated or full body muscle groups. In addition, PIlates tones the full body and promotes endurance. This routine uses movements like planks, side planks, and core exercises to enhance your muscles and core strength, all while promoting relaxation with integrated breathing.
Circuit Training
Circuit Training classes are typically an interval-style, fast paced, shorter routine that does exactly as its name implies – a series of exercises that complete a circuit. Normally in this class setting, you complete one exercise (usually in a station) for anywhere from 30 seconds to a minute, and then move on to the next station/exercise for another 30 seconds to a minute, typically with a brief break in the routine once you complete one full circuit. Circuits can average 5-6 different exercises or stations, and you normally repeat the circuit 3-5 times, depending on the time one full circuit takes. This class is ideal for you are looking for a calorie-burning, strength-training fast paced workout.
HIIT
HIIT stands for High-Intensity Interval Training, and is an exercise strategy that alternates short periods of intense exercise movements, followed by less intense, but still active “recovery” periods. The goal with a HIIT class is to reach a sustained target heart rate for exercise, allowing you to quickly burn fat in a brief amount of time. This class is ideal for someone looking to burn serious calories through intense cardio movements, and work up a sweat!
Bootcamp
Bootcamp classes are normally more challenging classes designed to push you outside of your regular limits through a hybrid combination of high intensity, cardio and strength-training movements. If you go to a Bootcamp class, you can expect to encounter anything from push-ups and burpees, to bursts of sprints, sit-ups, pull-ups, barbell and weight lifting, as several examples. The variety of these movements keeps your body guessing and working, all shown to effectively maximize your progress and long-term development. As intimidating as a bootcamp class can sound, this class is ideal for someone who is up for a good challenge and seeking the deepest, most rewarding level of exercise.
Aerobics
Aerobics is one of the earliest forms of class fitness, doing pretty much what is says on the label; engaging your aerobic system. It involves the repetition of movements to music, getting the calories burnt and the heart pumping. Whether you prefer a more dance and choreography based class or just a simple workout, aerobics varies from class to class and is all about what you prefer and what intensity you desire.
Crossfit
If you're looking for a challenging new class to push your limits then crossfit is for you, combining a mix of exercises including olympic weightlifting, calisthenics, cardio and interval training. Crossfit definitely gets your heart pumping and muscles working hard. This class if definitely not for the faint-hearted, but is a great way to get fit quick! Crossfit improves nearly all areas of exercise due to the spectrum of exercises involved including; fitness, mobility, strength, balance, endurance, flexibility and so on. You won't be feeling bored after a few classes of this, due is expansive inclusion of different exercises and equipment, crossfit targets a variety of muscles whilst making you work hard and keeping you on your toes.
Dancercise
Dance can be one of the best exercises to tone your body and strip you of fat, without feeling like you're slaving away in the gym. Great for toning up those abs and building glutes and leg muscles, dancercise is a great way to add a bit of fun and variety into your normal cardio training. You wont turn into the next dancer on the west end, but you will certainly feel the benefits of burning some calories and injecting some fun through popular music routines. Dance classes are a lot of fun and tend to be very sociable – plus the high concentration factor means you’ll hardly be aware that you are doing a ‘workout’. That said, there are so many different types of dance to try that you are sure to get the hang of one of them.
Extend
Is perfect for the older generation and those with disabilities to have some fun and add a bit of exercise to their routine, without the hard impact of regular fitness classes. Extend is a great way to include the benefits of a fitness class without the strain of regular classes. Carried out in a chair, you may think that a workout sitting down isn't much of a workout, but even those with good fitness levels can work hard and feel that burn whilst sitting down.
Rope Training
​Such a simple form of training, but rope classes are a great way to include an intense muscle workout whilst having a bit of fun! Let's face it waving big ropes around as fast as you can for a short period of time is a very intense workout, feeling it in the upper body immediately. Plus when working together the motivation bouncing off each other is ideal to get those arms pumping faster. Sometimes trying new things in the gym can be daunting, for fear of doing it wrong or looking weak and feeble, but joining a rope class is a great way to get started without the funny looks you may get in the gym.
Quads And Glutes
Similar to LBT, targeting areas is great to get in a high intensity muscle workout, particularly if you are struggling for exercises to do by yourself. But only best used when you want to improve on muscle strength and muscle endurance, if improving cardio or weight loss, weight training is still key, but you would probably benefit from other classes that include both cardio and resistance training. Perfect for establishing a good technique and developing leg muscles, adding this class to your list will mean you will never skip leg day again!
Metcon
Metabolic Conditioning, or Metcon for short, is similar to HIIT and Insanity, involving short, fast-paced interval training, aimed at increasing your metabolism and cardiovascular capacity. Metcon involves a full body workout of exercises such as push-ups and squats followed by shuttle runs and high knees. The combination of body resistance training with high-paced cardio training makes for a full cardio and weight training workout at high intensity, hitting every area of the body. Stuck for time and need a class that will work every area of your body? Then Metcon is perfect for those of us who have limiting schedules.
