GROUP EXERCISE CLASS DESCRIPTIONS
Abs and Glutes: This 50-minute class uses a variety
of exercises designed to blast the lower body and
sculpt the abdominals.
BOSU: Bosu stands for "both sides up." The Bosu
balance trainer resembles half a stability ball attached
to a stable base. Virtually every exercise done on the
Bosu is a balance exercise. This equipment provides
an unstable surface that will challenge the muscles in
a unique way. This one hour class includes both
cardio and strength training exercises.
Group Cycling: Burn approximately 500 calories in
a 40 minute ride. Group cycling is effective for all
fitness levels, because you control the resistance on
the bike. There are no complicated moves to learn-
join a class today and see how exhilarating it can be!
Water bottle and towel recommended. Pre-register for
class the day prior.
Fit for Life: A fun, low- intensity, low- impact
workout for older adults. Thinking about joining a
class? Visit this one once and you'll be hooked!

Cardio Kick: This high-energy class uses moves barrowed from boxing and martial arts. Designed to get your heart pumping and leave you feeling empowered and stress-free!
Pilates Mat: Pilates is a series of exercises developed
by Joseph H. Pilates nearly 90 years ago. All exercises
in Pilates involve using the deepest layers of abdominal muscles, and stress attaining a strong "core." The ultimate mind-body workout, participants

muscles have lengthened. Pilates Fusion: begins with
a standing yoga-based warm-up. Pilates Principles: This class features more detailed instruction regarding
the execution of Pilates mat exercises. Ideal for entry
level students!

emphasis on mind-body. This class begins with a
flexibility and range of motion warm-up, followed by
body sculpting set to flowing/rhythmic music.

minutes of intermediate level step patterns, followed
by sculpting exercises for the upper and lower body,
abdominals and stretch. Dumbbells, tubing, bands
and balls may be used.
Total Body Workout: After a thorough warm-up on
the step, this class will sculpt virtually all the major
muscle groups. Abdominal work and stretching
conclude the class.
Yoga: Yoga at the YMCA is designed to create
balance in the body, and complement everyday
