Fitness Class Descriptions

Rhythm Rush
Dance. Sweat. Smile. Repeat. A high-energy cardio dance party that blends fun, movement, and feel-good vibes. Move to the music, let loose, and enjoy an easy-to-follow “Zumba” workout designed to boost your mood, elevate your energy, and bring out your inner dancer. No judgment, no pressure — just great beats, big smiles, and a whole lot of fun!

Stretch and Serenity
Unwind, breathe, and let the stress of Monday melt away. Stretch & Serenity is your weekly invitation to slow down with gentle, full body stretches designed to ease tight muscles, improve mobility, and release built-up tension. As your body relaxes, you’ll be guided through calming breathwork and mindful relaxation techniques that help quiet the mind, reduce stress, and restore a sense of balance. Whether you’re looking to recover after a workout, ease into the week, or simply enjoy a peaceful 40 minutes for yourself, this class will leave you feeling refreshed, recharged, and ready to take on the days ahead. Reset your body. Relax your mind. Reclaim your calm.

Strength Lab
Welcome to the lab, where strength is built one lift at a time. This class is designed to help you increase your strength through heavier weights, lower repetitions, and proper lifting technique. Don’t worry—lifting heavier won’t automatically make you bulky. Instead, you’ll build functional strength, improve bone health, and boost confidence both in and out of the gym. Whether you’re new to strength training or ready to level up, you’ll be challenged in a supportive environment that encourages safe progression and measurable results. Before you know it, you’ll be lifting stronger, moving better, and feeling more powerful every day.

The Power Playground
Welcome to the playground—where every class is a new adventure. Just like your favorite park has something around every corner, Power Playground keeps your body guessing with a dynamic mix of strength, endurance, power, and functional training. Expect a variety of movements, including eccentric, concentric, and isometric exercises, designed to challenge you in fresh and exciting ways. No two classes are ever the same. You never know what’s waiting when you walk through the doors—but you can count on an energizing workout, plenty of variety, a few surprises, and a whole lot of fun. Come ready to play, push your limits, and leave feeling stronger than when you arrived!

Fire and Form
Get ready to sweat, sculpt, and surprise yourself! This high-intensity interval training (HIIT) class combines powerful bursts of cardio with strength-focused exercises to build lean muscle and tone your body from head to toe. Every workout is designed to challenge your endurance, elevate your heart rate, and leave you feeling stronger with every class. Are you ready to see what HITT Happens has in store for you?

Peach Power
Ready to build your strongest peach? This glute-focused workout is designed to strengthen, sculpt, and activate all three glute muscles—the gluteus maximus, gluteus medius, and gluteus minimums—while also engaging the deep core and pelvic floor muscles for improved stability, balance, and functional strength. Using a variety of targeted exercises, you’ll challenge your glutes through strength, endurance, and stability training, leaving you with that unmistakable burn. Whether your goal is better performance, stronger hips, improved posture, or a more sculpted lower body, Peach Power delivers. Feel the burn, embrace the challenge, and walk out stronger, more confident… and maybe even feeling a little peachy keen to return to class next week!

MELT — Yin Yoga
If you’re looking for deep relaxation, restoration, and a little time to reconnect with yourself, don’t let MELT pass you by. You’ll be gently guided through a series of Yin yoga poses designed to encourage balance in the body, mind, and soul—inviting you to slow down, breathe deeply, release tension, and simply be. You’ll never leave a class more relaxed than MELT. Come as you are. Leave feeling lighter, calmer, and restored. MELT. Breathe. Release. Restore. Hope to see you soon—and may our surroundings always be calm and peaceful, inside and out.

Barre Code
Crack the code to a stronger, leaner you! Bar Code is a boutique-inspired barre class that combines light weights, high repetitions, bodyweight movements, and precise, controlled exercises to sculpt and strengthen your entire body. Drawing from elements of ballet, Pilates, and functional fitness, you’ll improve muscular endurance, posture, balance, flexibility, and core strength with every class. Just when you think you’ve figured out what’s next… think again! Every class is filled with creative sequences and unexpected challenges that will keep you engaged, motivated, and always guessing. You’ll feel the burn, shake a little, smile a lot, and leave standing taller and stronger than when you arrived. Small movements. Big burn. The code is yours to crack.

Upper Edge
Take your upper-body strength to the next level! Upper Edge is a focused strength class designed to build muscle, improve endurance, and enhance functional movement through targeted training of the biceps, triceps, shoulders, chest (pectorals), and upper back. Each workout isolates key muscle groups while incorporating compound movements for a balanced, effective session. Expect controlled lifts, progressive challenges, and plenty of opportunities to build strength at your own pace. You might leave with that satisfying post-workout feeling where reaching for the top shelf suddenly seems like a challenge—but that’s just a sign your muscles have been put to work! Whether you’re new to strength training or an experienced lifter, Upper Edge meets you where you are and helps you get stronger with every rep. Train smart, lift strong, and discover your edge.

Pilates X
Take your Pilates practice to the next level! Pilates X combines the core-strengthening, posture-enhancing principles of traditional Pilates with an added cardiovascular component to create a dynamic full-body workout. This class goes beyond the mat by incorporating energizing movement, increased heart rate intervals, and functional exercises designed to improve strength, stability, flexibility, and endurance. Expect controlled Pilates-inspired movements blended with cardio bursts that challenge your muscles, elevate your fitness, and keep your body engaged from start to finish. Whether you’re looking to strengthen your core, improve balance, or add variety to your routine, Pilates X delivers the perfect mix of precision, power, and energy. Not just Pilates. Not just cardio.

The Mat Method
There’s a method to this “gentler” traditional mat Pilates class - combo of core and stretch. The Mat Method is a complete Pilates-inspired workout focused on building core strength, stability, control, and body awareness through intentional, precise movements. Although this class takes place entirely on the mat, don’t be fooled — this workout will challenge you! Through isometric contractions, controlled movements, and mindful engagement, your muscles will be working from the inside out to improve strength, endurance, posture, and stability. Stretching will be intermixed throughout exercise instruction.
