About the Classes

  • Each class starts with a quick hello chat and ends with the opportunity to again chat and ask any questions you might have.

  • This is a progressive program. The load will build from week to week as mobility increases and participants master the movement skills. From a foundation of exercises the program will regularly introduce new training moves.

  • How often should you do the workout? Once a week is AMAZING, twice is FANTASTIC, three times and you're a LEGEND. Just make sure you're giving your body enough recovery time.

Athletic Strength: A full body strength workout with a changing variety of exercises to challenge your movement patterns. This workout will also include some dynamic movements to increase power and strengthen your mechanical fitness (skeleton and connective tissues). Class duration: 30-40 minutes.

Roll and Strength: The same as Athletic Strength but we start the class with a full body foam roll to aid in our mobility.

Swimmer Strength and Mobility: A full body dryland workout including exercises to simulate all strokes and kicking. Importantly, we also perform strength and mobility movements to ensure the muscular load is balanced out for the full body. Class duration: 30-40 minutes. *An anchored resistance band is required for this class.

Spin Class (Indoor Cycling): Our live online bike workout features all the elements to both improve your cycling and increase your cardiovascular fitness. Each class starts with a quick hello chat and ends with the opportunity to again chat and ask any questions you might have. The rides will feature a progressive program that will build your bike fitness from week to week featuring drills, climbs, intervals and time trials with lots of coaching along the way. These 50 minute classes utilize high intensity intervals to help you get your most training effect in the shortest time. We also do a 5 minute stretch after.

Yoga: The perfect way to start the day. A gentle yoga class with options for everyone so that they can increase their mobility, relax and enjoy some calm, social fun on a Sunday morning.
