TRX®

The TRX Suspension Trainer is the workout system that leverages gravity and your body weight to perform hundreds of exercises. You’re in control of how much you want to challenge yourself on each exercise because you can simply adjust your body position to add or decrease resistance.

The fundamental techniques and positions presented have been carefully selected to ensure a safe, fun, and effective workout for every student, regardless of fitness level.

H.I.T.T.

This is a type of interval training exercise. It incorporates several rounds that alternate between several minutes of high intensity movements to significantly increase the heart rate to at least 80% of one’s maximum heart rate, followed by short periods of lower intensity movements.

Kickboxing 

This class is a form of boxing based on kicking and punching. The rapid movements in kickboxing also improve flexibility, balance, coordination, and can help you build faster reflexes.
