A stronger core makes you better at all things you do, from everyday life to your favorite sports – it’s the glue that holds everything together. All moves in CORE™ have options, so it’s challenging but achievable for your own level of fitness. During the 30 minute workout, trained instructors guide you through correct technique as you work with resistance tubes and weight plates, as well as body weight exercises like crunches, and hovers. You will also get into some hip, butt and lower back exercises.

SH’BAM™

A fun-loving, insanely addictive dance workout, SH’BAM™ is an ego-free zone – no dance experience required. All you need is a playful attitude and a cheeky smile. Forget being a wallflower – even if you walk in thinking you can’t, you’ll walk out knowing you can!
