NEW GROUP EXERCISE CLASSES!Zumba Toning

When it comes to body sculpting, Zumba® Toning raises the bar (or rather, the toning stick). It combines targeted body-sculpting exercises and high-energy cardio work with Latin-infused Zumba

moves to create a calorie-torching, strength-training dance fitness-party.

PiloxingPiloxing® is the first program that blends the muscle sculpting of standing Pilates, the strengthening

and cardio of boxing and the fun of dance into a high energy interval workout. The fusion of these disciplines (Pilates, boxing and dance) keep the classes feeling new and fun but are all rooted in core

centered technique and therefore complement each other perfectly.
