Circuit Training
This class combines aerobic and strength elements with one-on-one training. It is just the right change of pace for aerobic and strength training enthusiasts. It’s also appealing for brand new or older participants who are reluctant to line up with more experienced participants in front of the mirrors. Circuit training is an effective way to develop both strength and cardiovascular fitness simultaneously. A circuit session consists of a series of exercises or stations performed in success with minimal rest intervals in between. It is designed to be easy to follow and targets fat loss, muscle building and heart fitness.

Tai Chi
Sometimes described as meditation in motion, tai chi promotes serenity through gentle movements – connecting the mind and body. Originally developed in ancient China for self-defense, tai chi evolved into a graceful form of exercise that’s now used for stress reduction and to help with a variety of other health conditions. Tai chi is a non-competitive, self-paced system of gentle physical exercise and stretching. Tai chi consists of a series of postures or movements performed in a slow, graceful manner. Each posture flows into the next without pause, ensuring that your body is in constant motion. It’s gentle and suitable for everyone.
