The TRX System, or Total Resistance Exercises, refers to a specialized form of suspension training that utilizes equipment developed by a former U.S. Navy SEAL. 

TRX uses bodyweight exercises to simultaneously develop strength, balance, flexibility, and core stability. It requires using the TRX Suspension Trainer, a performance training tool that leverages gravity and the user's body weight to complete the exercises.

Beginner TRX is for all fitness levels.

Ages 16 and up.

TRX with a twist!  We’ve added weights. You will get all of the benefits of our TRX class plus the additional benefits of weights, medicine balls, and other tools that are added into this class for a challenging, total body workout. 

One of the fastest-growing fitness trends, High Fitness brings back the old aerobics with a modern twist and intensity. With easy to follow choreography, it doesn't matter what your experience level. This class will give you a thorough cardio workout while having a good time! 

This total body workout uses a high-repetition, light-to-moderate-weight format, designed to lean you down, tone you up, and leave you energized and ready for more! All fitness levels welcome; ages 16 and up.

Live healthily and feel better! This high-energy, total-body workout will improve your strength and endurance by combining weights and other equipment with cardio and bodyweight exercises. Every exercise can be adapted to meet unique individual needs so all involved can excel and enjoy!

Zumba is a fun class filled with easy dance steps that correspond with Latin and International music. Aerobic interval training is combined with fast and slow rhythms. Zumba utilizes the principles of fitness interval training and resistance training to maximize caloric output, fat burning, and total body toning. Ages 16 and under are not permitted in this class.

This class is designed for active older adults who are looking for a modified Zumba® class that recreates the original moves you love at a lower-intensity. Zumba Gold® introduces easy-to-follow Zumba® choreography that focuses on balance, range of motion, and coordination.

This class utilizes chair-based, low-impact exercises for building total body strength and improving range of motion. Modifications are incorporated to meet the needs of all fitness levels.

Gentle Stretch consists of flowing, non-strenuous movements to gently stretch skeletal muscles, relax the nervous system, and add a little flexibility and balance to your day. We'll move slow through the basics while using breathing techniques and guided relaxation to help the body feel refreshed and rejuvenated. Ages 16 and up.

Get stronger and improve your balance through exercises that strengthen the ankle, knee, and hip joints, all in a fun and social setting. This class is designed specifically to help prevent falls.

Designed to increase muscle strength, range of movement and improve activities for daily living. A chair is used for seated exercises and standing support. This class can be modified depending on fitness levels.

The SilverSneakers Circuit workout offers standing, low-impact choreography alternated with standing upper-body strength work with hand-held weights, elastic tubing with handles, and a SilverSneakers ball. A chair is available for standing support.

This class is for seniors, ages 55 & up. Just the basics—no sun salutations or human pretzel poses! You can practice seated poses in a chair or on a thick padded mat. We’ll do a lot of breathing exercises, go through a full range of motion, and practice both visualization and meditation.

Body Composition Testing

Advanced Body Composition Analysis Powered by InBody

Body composition is a method of describing what makes up the body, including fat, protein, minerals, and water. It also describes weight more accurately than BMI does. Body composition analysis can accurately show changes in fat mass, muscle mass, and body fat percentage.

Advanced Body Composition Analysis

The InBody Test Will show a true assessment of your body. In less than 60 seconds, the InBody test examines the composition of your body and reveals the percentage of body fat, muscle distribution, and body weight balance, which are key components in understanding more about your body.

Non-Invasive, Pain-Free Testing

Safe, low-level currents are sent through the body via hand and foot electrodes. The impedance that the currents encounter is measured to derive body composition. InBody’s patented BIA technology provides accurate and consistent outputs that are highly correlated with gold standard methods.

Track Your Progress

Taking the InBody test once will give you a snapshot of your body at that time. However, taking the InBody test consistently will give you a timeline of your progress. Watch the improvements from exercise and diet, and do not let your hard work go to waste.

More Than Monitoring Only Weight

Weight can be misleading when used as an indicator of health. It may show no change with exercise and improved nutrition. Your body is a complex structure made up of different components, such as water, fat, and muscle, which cannot be expressed with one simple number.

Learn more about body composition and how InBody Analysis helps you understand your body make-up in this video: Watch the InBody Analysis Video

  • Remove socks, stockings, and any items from your pockets before testing.
  • Stand upright for about five minutes before testing.
  • Do not eat or exercise before testing.
  • Use the bathroom before testing.
  • Testing under similar conditions each time will enhance reproducibility when comparing tests.

Individuals with medical implant devices such as peacemakers or essential support devices such as patient monitoring systems must not take the test.
