WHY IT WORKS ... FOR YOUR BODY

The human body is an amazingly intricate and powerful machine. And guess what: you own one.

Often we treat how our bodies operate as a mystery, taking them for granted, and assuming they will always be there for us.

Many of us focus on energy intake, reading about what we should eat to create balance in our bodies. While this is important, we also need to consider how we expend energy in a way that is effective, makes us feel well for the present and future and does something more for us than just burning calories.

High Calorie Burn

Whether you are participating in our outdoor signature Tread Powerfully^® power walking and muscle circuit classes or sweating in one of our many indoor strength classes, you will elevate your heart rate into its target zone because we believe in functional fitness that has your body moving naturally.

Your shoulders will be back, your core and abdominals will be engaged and contracted and you will be cued the entire time to make each workout your best.

Your movements will be deliberate, and you’ll be firing on all cylinders, burning calories along the way.

Muscle Building

During every class you will build muscle in your upper and lower body. Whether you are outdoors in our signature power walking/muscle circuit classes using hand weights as you move through a series of squat presses or completing a box jump, you will work every major muscle group. As you build muscle, your body will need to use more energy in order to sustain itself and its newly defined muscles. Now your body will be working harder, and continue to burn even more calories throughout your day (even while you sleep!).

WHY IT WORKS ... FOR YOUR SPIRIT

Increased Energy

When your fitness experience is led by an instructor who loves to move, puts her heart and soul into her preparation and teaching and believes in the power of community you can’t help but be influenced by this sincere energy. Even after just one class with us you will notice an increase in personal energy that will leave you mentally, emotionally, and physically ready to face the rest of your day and week.

This kind of energy comes from the collective group as well as the release of mood-enhancing endorphins in your body from purposeful exercise that act like natural ‘uppers’.

Many individuals have used our classes to help combat the winter blues, stay mentally sharp through busy times and connect to their inner and physical power. The energy gained has provided them with a lift that has kept them centered, driven, and better able not only to cope, but also excel at daily life.

Results You Can See

Our members come to class as much for an emotional uplift as a butt lift. But hey, we are physical beings and there is a certain joy that comes from looking in the mirror and being proud of the muscle and shape you see. A toned butt, sculpted shoulders, tighter core and rocking biceps and triceps...these are a few of our favorite body parts to develop!

Our goals for you when you come out to one of our classes? A feeling of accomplishment, a smile once class is over (and lots of grunts during class), some sweat dripping down your face and some post-class muscle burn to remind you that you are alive and strong.
