THURSDAYS AT 11:45AM AT THE TERRACE

LaBlast® Chair Fitness is based on ballroom dancing (no partner needed), includes all components of physical fitness and makes fitness accessible for all.

LaBlast® Chair Fitness is a dance fitness program for every “body” that inspires the mind and will make you feel good from the inside out. Inspired by “Dancing with the Stars,” this class is a perfect balance of dance and fitness.

During class, you’ll move to dances like the Jive, Salsa, Foxtrot, Paso Doble, Viennese Waltz and more, incorporating music from all artists, genres and eras. Based on interchangeable patterns and variations rather than choreography, learning is easier and more enjoyable. This “workout in disguise” engages the whole body – physically, mentally and emotionally – and gets people moving regardless of their fitness level, age, ability or dance experience.

Participants in LaBlast® Chair start it simple, build a solid foundation and advance over time, repeating patterns as needed before moving on. The LaBlast® motto is “if you can clap it, you can dance it™.” Even seated, you’ll engage the entire body while feeling safer and more comfortable.

Join us to learn the skill of dance while experiencing the physical aspects of exercise, all while seated.

GEORGIA GOLF PERFORMANCE

Better fit = better ball speed = longer shots with the least amount of applied effort.

We want to make golf easier for you! Having consistency throughout your bag and your equipment allows for more consistency in your swing. That’s what every golfer wants! Right? More consistency!

There are many reasons and benefits for getting fit for your golf clubs. And for each person it may be different. We all have preferences and we are not all alike. Whether we vary in our physiques or in the way we think and problem solve, the important thing is that you will have equipment that is specifically fit to you and will allow you to learn more efficiently, as well as play with more predictability and confidence of where your golf ball should go.

With up to date technologies like Trackman 4, Sam PuttLab and the latest equipment from many of the major manufacturers, we feel confident we can service all your fitting and custom equipment needs.
