Muscleworks:
Pump those arms, lift those legs….wow!  This non-aerobic workout is truly a workout.  The focus is on toning & strengthening your body.  You will use rubber tubing, dumbbells, bars & all kinds of “toys” to tone up.  If you are new to working out & feel a bit timid about dancing, stepping or moving on your feet to music….this is a great place to start as you can get comfortable being in a group setting in our Aerobic Class Room w/o having to learn any moves or patterns.  Great to add to your weekly workout for some crosstraining.  You set the intensity.  It is very challenging, yet you can stop & take a break any time (without such being noticed)

Pilates*: (additional fee)
 An old form of exercise that has made a very, very, very popular comeback recently.  At Webb’s, Stephanie Meehan (BS Exercise Specialist) uses the “fitness circle” apparatus exclusively used for Pilates.  Pilates is a combination of strength training & stretching that improves posture, overall body strength & sports performance.  It emphasizes concentration & control of movements.  Focuses on fewer repetitions with greater precision. Join in anytime. Just come to class & Steph will calculate your fee if in middle of a session….no problem.

Spinning:
Let your super bike instructors: Sandy, Diane, Amy P or Dawn take you for the ride !! Don’t be afraid to try it if you’re new to this great rage in exercising as YOU adjust the level on the bike (& no one sees what level you pick….so not intimidating or competitive.) When it says: ‘trek”, that means some folks will use the treadmills or the Arc (elliptical) in class. This popular, fun workout is only $2.99/class or $19.99 for 9 classes for members (non-members $12/class). You can reserve a bike ahead of time, too so you can plan your workout for the week.  You can just show up, too, and pay when you arrive. Some classes we suggest you DO make the reservations ahead of time, depending on if it is the busier time of year or if a busier timeslot. These spinning bikes are upstairs in Cardio Room....with great music, laughs, motivation galore!! 
 
Step Beyond:
Using a step platform, you will step up, down & move all around your step.  The step height can be adjusted to increase your intensity level by adding 1-2 platforms on each side of it.  You are taught a basic move and your instructor will keep adding moves on – before you know it, the entire class has memorized a great pattern….all to the beat of the invigorating music!  You can enter the room having never taken this before and your instructor will teach the class the add-on pattern as you go.  Not a moment is wasted learning steps.Fun!  Super workout!

Step Outa Bounds:
Sue and Lisa alternate weekly teaching this  super fun, intense step class on Saturday mornings. Its popular style done to top 40’s and the absolute latest in music make it really fun….challenging!  But, remember, you can go at your own pace – so all levels are welcome.  These great instructors are  soooooo kind and fun…. You’ll just have a super great time!!   On Sat am after class, head off for your Sat am cup of coffee, a soccer game and errands – your day is off to a great start!!

Total Body Workout:
Laurie Barron (winner of Best Instructor Award - Reader's Choice) teaches this great 45 min workout on Friday mornings.  It includes great cardio and strength training all in a fun environment.  It's a blast!

Wateraerobics:
A super workout….with only 10% of your body’s weight impacting the pool floor as you move in the water.  Our classes are choreographed and are done to fun sing-along- music (mostly top 40’s, remakes of 70’s & 80’s – fun!!) Moving in the water has 12 times the resistance as out of water….so just imagine the caloric expenditure! (450-600/hour!!)  The water is 3’-5’….so you don’t need to be a swimmer.  Great for strengthening and toning your body.  A super combination (especially for those not wanting to perform an activity with impact) is this vertical workout in the pool.  Results!!  All levels.  Move at your own pace.  We have a great stereo system piped in to pool area & instructor wears a mic so you can here her cues better.  Move at your own pace.  No one sees what you do if you blunder as your body is submerged from the bottom rib down!  We recommend watershoes (we do sell these at our front desk) (sneakers are not allowed - sorry).
 
Waterbelt Workout:
Did you realize that walking 30 minutes in thigh deep water is equivalent to walking out on land for 2 hours!  Wow….so just imagine the workout with a waterbelt on & not touching bottom!  Absolutely NO impact so it is great for anyone with bad knees, shin splints, injuries not conducive to impact/pounding.  All the moves are done to music.  Fun!!  Great Instructors !!

Yoga:
Gentle stretching & soothing movements.  Keeps you “centered” and better able to focus.  It also keeps you less stressed, thus less likely to get distracted w/ poor eating habits.   At night, we offer Yoga  with Laurie Barron...a great “girls night out” or “datenight” – go out to dinner, then come unwind and head home refreshed. This class is at 6:30pm on Thursday nights. From 6:30-7/7:15 is Power Yoga.  7/7:15-7:45 is gentle stretching yoga....a good wind-down before bed.
On Wednesday mornings at 9:30 is a Power Muscle Yoga with Laurie Barron.  This is an intense muscle workout - yet peaceful to the mind.  All levels are welcome!!

Zumba
A cool new workout....fun, dancing (but you don't need dance experience)....move around to the latin beat....feel like you're on vacation with the beat of the music.  Your heart will pound and you'll laugh your way through these fun moves!!  Easy to follow, great on the heart!! (& body!!)
