TRX-

Strength training using your own body weight while holding on to straps.  The intensity is determined by the angle of each stance from the anchor point which makes it great for everyone to challenge themselves individually.  A tremendous amount of the core is engaged in all exercises.   Karla Seyer, Certified in Suspension Training.

Classes

Sensible, Motivating, Awesome, Realistic, Terrific!

Most classes at the YMCA will offer instruction to reach a wide range of fitness levels. The participant must still make all the proper choices, during each exercise, to insure a safe and effective workout! Choosing the right class format and style of the instructor can be very helpful for finding the right fit.
