ive-year Kroc member Lance Whitaker has always found time to workout and fit fitness into his daily routine. Unfortunately, his busy schedule made participating in The Kroc Center’s live group fitness classes close to impossible. That is until The Kroc began offering Les Mills Virtual/OnDemand classes. The Kroc Center is honored to be the only fitness facility in the area to offer Les Mills Virtual/OnDemand classes.
once you do it. Les Mills Virtual provides me with everything that I need for my workout.”
“I think I’ve been taking Les Mills Virtual classes for almost a year now,” stated Whitaker. “I heard about virtual from a Welcome Desk attendant and another member. Kroc Fitness and Wellness Specialist Melissa Harris brought it up to me because I was telling her about how much I love the cycling class, but I was frustrated that I couldn’t get in here right at 5:30pm to do it and I didn’t want to get up in the morning to take the early class.” Melissa asked Lance why he hadn’t tried Les Mills Virtual/OnDemand.
Les Mills Virtual allows Lance to try workouts that he otherwise would have a difficult time doing in the other areas of the facility. “I have always wanted to do a HIIT workout, but it’s difficult to do one in the fitness area because you have to worry about being in the way of someone else’s workout,” stated Lance. “When you take a HIIT-style virtual class, you don’t have to be creative. They tell you what you need and what to do, and you’re ready to roll.”
“Since trying it, I have never looked back,” stated Whitaker. “At first, I did RPM, and then I decided that I wanted to try more. So I experimented with the other classes and that’s when I discovered GRIT. I hadn’t done GRIT before and let me tell you; you want to forget it
While Lance is by himself during many of the virtual classes, he doesn’t mind. He admits that having people around can be nice because it pushes him, but even that isn’t necessary because the virtual instructors do a great job of motivating him.
