The barbell class has an instructional component w/ a focus on strength training. The main purpose is to learn the proper technique of a variety of barbell exercises, while gaining strength. The workouts are challenging as w/ any of our other programs, just in a different way.

Yoga

Although the yoga classes are taught slightly different from day to day & from instructor to instructor, the foundation is in vinyasa yoga. Vinyasa yoga is characterized by a focus on linking the breath w/ movement, & the utilization of the vinyasa, or a flowing sequence, that connects the more static traditional yoga postures. Vinyasa translates as “to place in a particular way” & is characterized by dynamic sequencing of postures.

Open Gym

Each week there are several hours in the morning & several hours in the evening where the training facility is open without classes scheduled. Once you have been a member for 2 weeks you may use the open gym times, regardless of which program you have decided to follow. During the open gym times, coaches are still available to ask questions to as well as to ensure your form is good. This is also a great time to work on specific exercises you may have difficulties w/ or areas you want to improve upon, such as pull ups, deadlifts, presses, etc.
