Class Descriptions
Circuit Training
Cardio/Core and Weight Training – These classes use sets of timed stations to put you through your paces. All levels of
exercisers can do these classes because each station is performed individually and to whatever level and modifications you need. It gives the benefit of having a personal trainer to guide your exercise along with the fun, camaraderie and friendly competition of a group.
Conditioning
Core and Stretch – It’s not Pilates. It’s not yoga. This class focuses on movements and positions to help you activate all the muscles that form your “core”. It finishes up with a good long stretch for your lower back, hips, upper back and shoulders.
FitCamp – The Eastside Fitness version of Bootcamp
Beginner – Brand new to exercise? Just getting back into a fitness routine? This class will introduce-reintroduce your body to strength and balance work, core work and light cardio fitness. The class will sometimes go outdoors.
All Levels – If you are looking to get your butt kicked with a plan and with safe exercises, you will “enjoy” and appreciate this class. The instructor will not let you “cheat” and you will see and feel the results. The class will sometimes go outdoors.
Belly Dance Fusion– Get your heart rate up, move around to music and enjoy. Toddlers may also participate. (or not!)
Yoga
Yoga - Is it possible to combine yoga and karaoke? It is in this special yoga class where breathing, moving and stretching are set to great tunes that help you relax and heat up your body from the inside out. Be sure to reserve your spot in this popular class!
“Hatha-lini” – You can guess what this combo-class is about. Classic Hatha postures with a little Kundalini flair thrown in at the end. Fun!
Prenatal – see workshop page for details.
Yes! Yoga – Fast paced and dynamic, often set to music. Each class incorporates opening mantras, warm-ups, sets of asanas and then a deep relaxing cool down. Results from Kundalini yoga can include weight control, stress relief and better sleep to name a few.
Yin – Great for beginners, runners, cyclists or anyone who wants or needs a good stretch. With 5 or 6 poses (asanas) in one class each pose is held anywhere from 1 minute to 5 minutes. All poses are seated or prone. Yin is not recommended for children or teens as the stretches get very deep into fascia and connective tissues.
Yin/Yang – A combination class long stretches and relaxation (Yin) and movement (Yang). Very enjoyable and satisfying.
Yoga- lates – You guessed it. It’s a combination class of yoga, breathing and postures mixed with Pilates principals and series. Core, core and more core!
Hello,
This looks like a great space! Love the idea of your Mom & Baby classes, my daughter is 16 months old and I know many mom and baby classes are for the “pre-mobile” stage…do you have an age limit for the babies?
Thanks,
Maughan
Hi Maughan,
Thank you for your comment. We do not have an age limit for the “babies” and we will do our best to help out any moms who make it out to class. Being moms ourselves we know the importance of getting out to exercise and socialize especially during these upcoming rainy months. We will be on hand to help “herd” any little ones who like to wander. We will also have a small play area that could occupy some toddlers for a few minutes and a Pac N Play just in case! Hope this helps. Our renovations continue and we hope to be ready for classes by October 15th.
Cheers,
Darnelle
Hi Eastside Fitness,
The groups sound like fun and definitely great in ensuring support, teamwork and commitment!
I was just wondering how long groups run for and what happens if it is rainy or snowing.
Thanks,
Amanda
Hi Amanda,
The groups are fun! The workouts for walk, run and learn to run are about 1 hr. The cycling group is about 2-3hrs. The groups will continue in the rain although we might make some judgment calls on the really adverse days. The cycling group will not meet if it is snowing or the roads are icy. You can tune in to facebook or twitter for current statuses of the various groups.
Hope to see you out!
Cheers,
Darnelle
Is there anything we need to being for the yoga classes?
Will you be offering the martial arts conditioning class this fall? I will be moving to the area to go to grad school and am looking for a place to keep in shape.
There is another Athletic Conditioning class scheduled for Wednesdays at 6:15pm. We are working with potential instructors to see about the possibility for adding a Martial Arts Conditioning class in a 5:30pm time slot but it has not been confirmed yet. Stay tuned for the fall schedule!
Hi. I’m wondering if you are planning to add any fit camp or circuit classes in the evening?
Hi,
I’m wondering how intense the Hardcore Fitcamp is. I’m in good shape and looking for something that’s really challenging. Thanks!
We have Athletic Conditioning at 6:15pm on Monday and Wednesday which is similar to a bootcamp style class or small group personal training. We will be adding a Saturday morning bootcamp in the new year as well. Otherwise, our later evening classes are reserved for yoga.
We have many levels of athletes in the FitCamp Hardcore classes. Some are trying to `get in shape`and others are working towards improving on their already high level of fitness. You may also be interested in the Athletic Conditioning classes we have on Monday and Wednesday evening at 6:15pm. Many in the classes are runners or cyclists or participate in other sports.
Thanks for your reply! What’s your most intense class?
The Kundalini inspired Yes! Yoga classes are intense as far as cardio and breathing practice….the yin and yin/yang classes can be intense as far as stretching into forgotten areas goes (stretched you toes lately???) and the flow classes can be intense with moving from one posture to the next. We don’t have any power yoga or Vinyassa classes on the schedule.
How long do your classes go for and usually how many people do you have per class?
I am looking at these ones in particular:
-Tuesday 6:15am Beginner Fit Class
-Thursday 8:00pm Yin Yoga
Thanks!
The classes are one hour. (Some of the weekend yoga classes are 75 mins) For FitCamp, Athletic Conditioning and other circuit style classes the limit is 10 participants. For yoga are limit is 15 participants. We encourage people to reserve their classes online.
