Cardio Blast: Anything goes…very much an instructor’s choice cardio-based class…always involving lots of sweating and some toning to blast your body into shape!  The choice of cardio will vary from week to week around kickboxing, hi/lo, step and classic JAZZERCISE moves…depending on the class desires and instructors plan.  Light weights, bands and/or balls may be used to add to the intensity of workout.

Body Jam: Designed for those of you who LOVE to sweat and push yourself!  This is a SUPER-intense, calorie-blasting workout which may use some circuit training combined with cardiovascular kickboxing moves and intervals of strength training. Will involve more drill-type exercises and sprints. Class will utilize the studio and/or fieldhouse.
