Class Descriptions:

Barre Fitness:
A unique class combining ballet-inspired moves with elements of Pilates, dance, yoga & strength training. Classes incorporate standing & mat work using classic dance moves and static stretches. Barre also focuses on high reps of small range movements. Done in bare feet using a chair & minimal equipment. For all skill levels.

 

Cardio Burn:
30 minutes to sweat and have fun with multiple forms of cardio fitness training that will engage every muscle in the body. All levels welcome. Leave after 30 minutes or stay for part 2: Core & Stretch.

 

Core & Stretch:
More than just abdominals your core is an integral part of overall strength. This 30 minute workout hits all the right muscles in your core and then stretches everything out so you leave feeling stronger and relaxed.

 

Core & More:
Abs & back are only the beginning. Core & More gives you a total body workout! Using balls, foam rollers and lots more creates a challenging & fun toning class.

 

Line Dance:  Looking for a fun, social activity that will also get your heart pumping? Join one of our most popular instructors for line dancing to a variety of music. Learn routines in these styles and more: country, waltz, salsa, and jive. Leave with new routines and a smile on your face! *For all skill levels.

 

MPowered:
LOW impact. HIGH intensity! This MOUNT signature workout is the perfect way to build bodies, not break them. Using minimal equipment, you will do both strength and cardio intervals for a class experience like NO OTHER! Spark your metabolism and burn calories like a pro.

 

Nap or Stretch:  Do you need a mini technology detox? Or just a break from the stressors of the day?  We can help!  Schedule this 30-minute session into your calendar and learn (or relearn) how to be still, quiet, and tune in to your body. Choose to either follow the guided stretching or, just close your eyes and NAP!

 

Power & Stability: Ready to get stronger mentally & physically? Build your overall strength and power in this focused but fun workout. Safely develop greater muscle tone & stability with the use of a variety of free weights as well as sandbags, the TRX and bodyweight exercises that use gravity and your own weight as the challenge. Open to all participant levels! *Virtual participants: We recommend you have a large range of weight options at your disposal. Some exercises may not be possible to duplicate outside the studio.

 

Step & Pump:
Rock your cardio and challenge your brain with basic step aerobics. Then target muscle strength and endurance with safe & effective weight training. Use of dumbbells, stability balls & other resistance tools will make this feel like a total body challenge!

 

Total Body Toning:
Why? Because getting stronger can make you feel healthier and more confident. Every class will include a variety of muscle groups and equipment such as resistance bands, balls, dumbbells or just body weight. You’ll work up a sweat and burn calories. Suitable for everyone!

 

Walk it Out:   
Walking, climbing, strengthening and stretching. Led by an instructor. Outdoors on nice days. What else could you possibly need? Make some connections with others who like to walk and improve your general wellbeing. Meet at the gymnasium. Your week will be off to a GREAT start!

 

Yoga classes:

  • Strength Yoga:  In this challenging and rewarding yoga class you will burn calories and work up a sweat with fast-paced, vinyasa style flows. You can expect: Focus on muscle endurance and strength building alongside breath, poses that target multiple muscles at once providing a solid workout for a variety of muscle groups and improved stamina and focus. Bring a water bottle and towel and be ready to move!

 

Zumba:
Take the “work” out of workout, by mixing low-intensity and high-intensity moves for an interval-style, calorie-burning dance fitness party. Once the Latin and World rhythms take over, you’ll see why Zumba® Fitness classes are often called exercise in disguise.
