Virtual Fit for YOU Descriptions All fitness levels welcome

Strong & Stable with Shannon:The maintenance of bone density is important to overall health, and strength-based classes interconnected with balance are powerful in the efficacy of bone health and ultimately greater quality of life. Join this class to begin your week with focus and strength!

Vinyasa Flow with Charissa: Every movement is connected to breath in this Yoga class! The breath is a force that can change or inhibit...find your flow in this 30-minute practice.

Yoga Sculpt with Shannon: A Yoga practice designed to strengthen the body while also restoring the body is one of the main intentions of this class. Come and see what all the hype is about! Join this express edition of “Yoga Sculpt”!

Abs, Glutes, Thighs with Charissa: What do muffins, diapers and thunder all have in common? Well, they’re all associated with unwelcome references to unsightly, excess or sagging weight around the stomach, thighs and buttocks! Let’s target these hard to sculpt areas with exercises designed to attack and conquer!

Bring your “A game” as you will surely work!

Power Play with Shannon: Who’s got the power?! Well, hopefully you’ll bring it to this strength-based class targeting the major & minor muscle groups! No jumping, all pumping.

Core & More! with Charissa: The abdominals, the spine, the hips, oh my! This integrative approach to basic strength movements infused with core will leave you feeling energized and ready to tackle the rest of your week!

Low Cardio with Ashley: The “low” in this fitness class represents “low-impact”. Continue to maximize the heart’s capacity with this cardio approach!

R&R Yoga with Shannon: “Restore” and “Rejuvenate” the mind, body and spirit during this 30-minute approach to Yoga.

The intention is for participants to leave this practice calm and refreshed. All levels welcomed.
