Pound
The drumming-inspired rockout workout that is sweeping the world.
Pound tones and sculpts while driving your heart rate up to burn calories. In addition, numerous studies have proven the powerful brain boosting, stress-relieving effects of drumming.

Yoga
There is good reason yoga has steadily gained popularity over the past decade. Most people think of the obvious benefits of a yoga practice – improved flexibility, strength, posture and balance – but studies have also shown that doing yoga can reduce stress and anxiety, improve sleep and mood. Plus, in a yoga class you will learn skills that you can take with you everywhere for a quick workout – no tools required!

Cardio HIIT
Utilizing timed intervals of all-out effort, followed by periods of recovery, Cardio HIIT burns major calories in a short period of time and continues to burn calories for up to 24 hours following a HIIT session. Studies show 2 weeks of HIIT training improve aerobic capacity as much as 6 to 8 weeks of endurance-based training.

Aqua Fitness
Think you are too young or too fit for aqua fitness? Think again. Most exercises that are performed on land can also be performed in the water. The water resistance gives you the extra benefit of engaging muscles with less impact on the joints. The buoyancy of the water actually reduces your body’s weight, reducing strain on connective tissues and joints.
