组织类
Sometimes it’s just more fun to play with other people. We offer daily group classes that will get your mind off your studies and your body in motion. Typical offerings include:
- 初学者: This moderate intensity class will get you started with stretches and smooth transitions between exercises so you can build up your endurance.

- 尊巴: Imagine a total workout, combining cardio, muscle conditioning, balance and flexibility. 这是尊巴! It’s just like a calorie-burning dance fitness party that boosts your energy and gives you a serious dose of awesome every time.
- 瑜伽: This ages-old practice increases flexibility, improves spinal alignment, builds strength and enhances peace of mind. Although participants work in a group setting, the instructor provides plenty of individual attention. Everyone is welcome regardless of fitness level or yoga experience.
- 这种训练: When you’re really serious about getting – or staying – fit, High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT is for you). It utilizes aerobic (cardio) and anaerobic (muscle-building) intervals to help you get the most from your workout.
