Description of Classes
BODYFLOW is an exercise-to-music class that uses three main disciplines. We start with Tai Chi to calm and gently warm us into the workout, followed with a standard Yoga format to fully stretch, strengthen and energize our bodies as only Yoga can. Finally, Pilates exercises have been modified to suit the group fitness studio; they provide the quintessential core workout. The aim of the class is to build flexibility and strength which improve the functionality of the body. BODYFLOW is targeted to a wide variety of people, as it is both challenging and rejuvenating.
BODYPUMP is the original barbell class that shapes, tones and strengthens your entire body. Often referred to as ‘Pump’ by those who love it, it’s one of the world’s fastest ways to get in shape. This 60-minute addictive workout challenges all of your major muscle groups by using the best weight-room exercises such as squats, presses, lifts and curls. The key to BODYPUMP™ is THE REP EFFECT™, a breakthrough in fitness training focusing on high repetition movements with low weight loads. This will help you achieve strength and introduce lean body muscle conditioning. With the latest chart topping music, highly trained instructors and your choice of weight, get the results you are looking for – and fast!
ZUMBA is a fun cardio workout that is designed for people of varying ages and ability levels. It is based on Latin dance moves but being a dancer is not necessary. Anyone can Zumba! It is a full body workout that will tone, sculpt and invigorate. Zumba will give you a full range of health benefits, help you to burn calories in a fun way that doesn't even feel like exercise!
ZUMBA GOLD is specifically designed to take the exciting Latin and international dance rhythms created in the original ZUMBA program and bring them to the active older adult, the beginner participant, and other special populations that may need modifications for success. The class is guaranteed to provide participants with a safe and efective total body workout.
Latin Dance is designed to give our Latin Fans the chance to work from the ground up. You’ll start by learning how to lead and follow some simple turn patterns. Then you will learn the basic turns and the Cross Body. You will also be introduced to simple shines (footwork), which will help you get the rhythm of the Latin Music. This program will offer Basic Salsa, Bachata, Merengue, Cumbia and Samba and other Latin American styles. Every Month we will focus on practicing one of the Styles and a quick review of the others.
Butts & Gutts is 45 minutes of activities to sculpt and tone your buns, thighs and bellies! This class is appropriate for all levels and is a must for anyone who desires a firmer, better back side.
Aerobic Dance! It’s fun, energizing and effective! The instructor uses tunes from all eras, leading you through exciting dance routines that are easy for all ages and levels to follow. Heart Fitness, Toning & Sculpting, Stretching, Balance and Breath Focus are all part of this 55 min. workout.
Cardio Drumming High energy cardiovascular workout using stability balls on a stand. You will "play" your own ball, and the 2 stability balls beside you, and the ball behind you for an exciting and invigorating exercise session. Cardio Drumming is good for all levels, and does not require musical experience...only the desire to move and have fun.
Benefits By attending any of these classes 2-3 times per week, participants can expect: improvement in overall sense of well-being; improved flexibility and joint mobility; improved strength endurance and functional strength; increased core strength; improved coordination and balance; increased bone density; reduced stress levels and increased ability to relax & unwind; and potential weight loss through caloric expenditure and increased muscle tissue.
Who can participate, what to wear, what to bring?*
All classes cater to the needs of all fitness and experience levels. First-time exercisers will feel welcome and will be able to achieve success in all programs, keeping in mind that it does take up to three classes to develop a basic comfort level (as with any new activity). Wear comfortable clothes that will allow you to move. The studio is wonderfully air-conditioned, but light, breathable clothing is still recommended. For BODYFLOW you may want to bring your own mat. The Fitness Loft will also have mats available to use if needed.
* PLEASE NOTE: Clean "studio" shoes (athletic shoes that are brushed completely free of dirt and rocks and not worn outside prior to class, or new shoes that are reserved only for indoor activities) are required for all BODYVIVE, Zumba and BODYCOMBAT classes. No street shoes will be allowed inside the studio in order to preserve the wood floor and ensure cleanliness for the barefoot classes.
Classes are held at the Burnham Brook Community Center - 200 W. Michigan Ave. in Battle Creek, all ages and backgrounds are welcome.
