Pilates

Lengthen and strengthen your body in this mat-based class as you are guided through a series of low-impact exercises focusing on deep muscles of the abdominals, back, hips, and glutes. Pilates places emphasis on the importance of breath work to develop a mind/body connection. Benefits of Pilates include better posture, increased strength, and injury prevention through improving joint stability and mobility as well as muscular flexibility.

Spin

Take bike riding to a whole new level indoors! Let our instructors motivate you through this muscular and cardiovascular endurance class with bike sprints, hill climbs, jumps, and more to your favorite upbeat music. Training on a bike makes this workout low impact but you choose your intensity by adjusting your speed and resistance.

Learn a new sport, practice your skills, and play various sports with your friends! A great way to exercise with your friends, prepare for intramurals, and meet new people!
