Group Exercise at CoxHealth Fitness Centers is provided to give an alternative to your basic fitness routine. It allows a participant to pair up additional strength and toning for targeted areas or break up the monotony of cardiovascular equipment. Being able to work out with a group of people - your friends - helps to alleviate boredom and is just more fun. It is a built in support system and adds accountability.
To assist you in finding the right class, CoxHealth Fitness Centers has developed a "leveling" structure to its class schedules allowing for flexibility for all fitness levels. If a class is just labeled by the title of the class, this is considered the next step up from "beginner". If you have taken a similar class before or feel that you have the basic principles needed, you are welcome into any of these classes. They will progress at the rate of the participant's ability. Following is the outline for which classes are labeled.
Introductory - Any class that is labeled introductory will be shorter in length than the regular paid offerings. These are in place to allow a participant a look into a certain discipline. If you are looking for something different but don't want to get locked into a paid, 8-week session of a class that may not be suited for you, try one of the introductory classes. Each discipline will be offered at different times and sessions rotating throughout the year.
Beginner - Classes labeled as "beginner" are designed for a participant that has never taken this type of class and does not have any prior knowledge. The beginner level will give each participant a solid foundation of the discipline and will be a progressive class within the 8-week session. Each session will start back at the beginning.
If a more advanced level is achieved, advanced classes will be added.
Below is an alphabetical list of the classes provided throughout the year. If you don't see one of the classes on the schedule, it will be available at some point throughout the year. You are welcome to call our Group Exercise Manager, Nancy Lillich, 269-5147 for specific times of year certain classes are offered.
