Shadow Boxing

Anyone can box! Join us and learn proper technique for punching that you can take home and perform safely on your own. This class is open to all levels of fitness or athletic backgrounds even those who have no idea how to box. Participants will warm up their bodies safely and perform traditional boxing combinations with proper form and power. Teaching is done at lower intensities and increases steadily throughout the duration of class. Participants will learn proper stance, footwork, and hand placement. Suitable for all physical conditions and fitness levels. (Equipment provided).

This class is open to all levels as it is gentle enough for seniors and anyone with limited range of mobility. Participants are able to warm up the body safely and perform traditional yoga poses with more support and stability. Poses are done seated as well as standing with the aide of a chair. Participants will learn the essential movements of yoga without straining, as well as techniques to regulate the breath and calm the mind.

Aqua Zumba

Aqua Zumba® blends the Zumba® philosophy with water resistance, for one pool party you shouldn’t miss! There is less impact on your joints during an Aqua Zumba® class so you can really let loose. Water creates natural resistance, which means every step is more challenging and helps tone your muscles.
