Pilates and Defensive Kickboxing classes coming to Thursday Nights!

The Pilates and Cardio Kickboxing classes have been very popular, so we are bringing them to Thursday nights. As an added bonus, the evening classes are open to men as well.

Pilates is a toning and sculpting workout which over time will guarantee tightening of core muscle groups. Pilates is one way to one way to restore and maintain firmness without a high cardio workout. The class will include free weights, tension band work (you may provide your own), with floor and stand up work.

Defensive Kickboxing is for the person who is not afraid to sweat, and really get hands on with a workout. This class is about fitness with a self defense edge. We will incorporate kicks, punches, and intense body movement, then explore how to apply them defensively.
