The Cybex strength circuit, along with a center area used for fitness classes and free space, make up the rest of the facility. There is also equipment in the middle free area, including stretching mats, medicine balls, foam rollers, jump ropes, resistance bands, and much more!

Body Blast is a high-intensity interval training through a series of fast-paced exercises with a mix of bodyweight, weighted, and banded exercises. Each 1-hour class will incorporate a full-body workout, including a warm-up, conditioning, and cool-down stretch. Whether a beginner or an athlete, this class will challenge you to reach your peak performance! Come join if you’re looking to push yourself, break a sweat, and have fun!

This class ranges from simple vinyasa flows to an occasional power yoga session. Here we draw on the strength in our bodies and learn to focus our breath as we practice poses in a rhythmic flow. Come as you are to be present with your body, mind and breath to notice how they support you every day. Mats are provided, or you can bring your own. Throw on some comfortable clothes and meet me in child’s pose.

*Yoga has a limit of 12 people.

If you’re looking for a fun way to relax and do yoga, try Paddleboard Yoga! This is a quick 30-minute class where you’ll be practicing on paddleboards in the comfort of the indoor pool. The water adds a little extra challenge so you’ll work on balance and core strength while moving through different poses. No experience is necessary!
