Elements Classes and Jerk Practice

By: 0

Starting in March we will introduce Elements Classes at 9AM on Tuesday and Thursday, and at 6.30 PM Monday-Thursday. These classes are open to everyone, but are designed as a bridge between On Ramp and our Level I Classes. The Elements Classes are designed to promote and enhance your health and fitness. Participants are exposed to a wide variety of movements with a focus on proper mechanics. The Elements Classes  are great for beginners because they focus on movement quality rather than intensity, but the  workouts are not just for beginners. Like everything in our gym these workouts are scalable and can be made as difficult as one could imagine. Look for these new offerings in early March!
