Description of Classes
BODYFLOW is an exercise-to-music class that uses three main disciplines. We start with Tai Chi to calm and gently warm us into the workout, followed with a standard Yoga format to fully stretch, strengthen and energize our bodies as only Yoga can. Finally, Pilates exercises have been modified to suit the group fitness studio; they provide the quintessential core workout. The aim of the class is to build flexibility and strength which improve the functionality of the body. BODYFLOW is targeted to a wide variety of people, as it is both challenging and rejuvenating.
BODYPUMP is the original barbell class that shapes, tones and strengthens your entire body. Often referred to as ‘Pump’ by those who love it, it’s one of the world’s fastest ways to get in shape. This 60-minute addictive workout challenges all of your major muscle groups by using the best weight-room exercises such as squats, presses, lifts and curls. The key to BODYPUMP™ is THE REP EFFECT™, a breakthrough in fitness training focusing on high repetition movements with low weight loads. This will help you achieve strength and introduce lean body muscle conditioning. With the latest chart topping music, highly trained instructors and your choice of weight, get the results you are looking for – and fast!

Who can participate, what to wear, what to bring?*
All classes cater to the needs of all fitness and experience levels. First-time exercisers will feel welcome and will be able to achieve success in all programs, keeping in mind that it does take up to three classes to develop a basic comfort level (as with any new activity). Wear comfortable clothes that will allow you to move. The studio is wonderfully air-conditioned, but light, breathable clothing is still recommended. For BODYFLOW you may want to bring your own mat. The Fitness Loft will also have mats available to use if needed.
* PLEASE NOTE: Clean "studio" shoes (athletic shoes that are brushed completely free of dirt and rocks and not worn outside prior to class, or new shoes that are reserved only for indoor activities) are required for all BODYVIVE, Zumba and BODYCOMBAT classes. No street shoes will be allowed inside the studio in order to preserve the wood floor and ensure cleanliness for the barefoot classes.
Classes are held at the Burnham Brook Community Center - 200 W. Michigan Ave. in Battle Creek, all ages and backgrounds are welcome.
