Pilates

Class meets on Tuesdays and Thursdays from
12:00pm - 12:50pm in the CJR Aerobics Room

Pilates utilizes fluid movement elongating the muscles while strengthening the muscles. Pilates is a system of physical conditioning developed by Joseph H. Pilates in the early 1900's. Pilates optimizes one's movements whatever their current fitness level. The exercises emphasize the core muscles of the abdomen, gluteus and back. The Pilates system brings about muscle balance and spinal alignment, which improves posture and body mechanics, and builds strength throughout the entire body.

Personal Training

Need a motivational boost or want to receive a specialized exercise program? Whether you're a veteran to exercise, or just starting out, here's your chance to do so under the guidance of a nationally certified trainer.

Personal trainers start with an initial meeting to understand your current fitness level and to develop a plan to reach your fitness goals. After the initial meeting, you'll meet with the trainer, as often as you'd like, in order to stay on course and benefit from his/her guidance.
