Founded in Japan, Tabata is a high intensity interval training—research proves that it improves aerobic systems as well as anaerobic systems. The class will begin with a pilates warm up, then onto 20 second bouts of high intensity training followed by 10 seconds of rest x 8 = 4 minute intervals alternating between cardio and pilates exercises. This will be followed by a cool down and stretch. Promises to be exhilarating!

Trampoline

Our newest class...we like to call it "TRAMP!" Beginning with a warm up, we alternate intervals of high energy, choreographed bouncing, with intermittent full body strengthening exercises. We may include tabata-like intervals and props, and definitely incorporate stretching.
With the spring free rebounder, you get a low impact cardio workout that protects the joints and increases lymphatic flow. Did you know that the lymphatic system helps the body to drain waste and toxins through its ducts? You will definitely sweat!
