What’s new in group fitness?

Hot and Spicy Group Fitness Classes

If you haven’t been to a group fitness class in a while, you may be surprised to find the fun factor is now part of the fitness experience.   The fitness industry seems to be integrating all types of dance, sports, and health concepts to blend together an experience that will not only offer a great workout but also bring in the fun factor to exercise.

 

Whatever you are looking to accomplish you can find classes that will help you meet your goals.  Whether you’re looking to get stretched and become more flexible, tone your body, challenge your mind, strengthen your heart or build your bone density, the new generation of group fitness classes will pleasantly surprise you in the creative approaches these classes are offering up.

    I think this is a fabulous idea that will help bring the community together for lots of steady “Fun Fitness”!

    I’m very excited about the blog starting up … maybe someday there will even be a forum. There are so many great connections on the web; but, like food, when it’s local, it’s the best!

    Thanks Carolyn!

    Heard you on the Damon Scott show this afternoon! I live in Simsbury on the Avon line and would love to come check your place out! I am a pretty active person and over the last 2 years I have lost about 20 pounds! I really want to get my sister in law in there. She is tiny tiny tiny and works out way too much and way too hard. She wants to gain about 10 pounds but can’t find the right fitness plan. She is going through some recent changes within her life and I want more than anything for her to feel great about herself!
