Adults

Taijutsu for Adults

Unlike most Martial Arts, training at the Temple Bujinkan Dojo is conducted in a friendly and non-competitive atmosphere.

Because Bujinkan Budo Taijutsu relies on naturally efficient body movement, rather than strength or speed to overcome an attacker, the training is safe, stimulating, and accessible to any adult regardless of age, physical condition or previous martial art experience. Class format is monthly sessions and classes meet weekly (Mondays and Wednesdays). For more information, call 254.298.5474.

SCW Certified Personal Trainer

“After playing collegiate basketball and earning a mathematics degree at Texas Woman’s University, I married my husband and had three boys. While attending a gym to lose those post pregnancy pounds, I was introduced to TRX and was immediately hooked!

Despite never teaching a group fitness class, I attended the TRX Suspension Training Course in 2011 and the rest is history. I have been teaching and training in different settings ever since. I am both a certified personal trainer, and I hold a top level TRX certification as a TEAM Certified Coach. As an ambassador of TRX, I live by the TRX motto of Making Your Body Your Machine! ”

Barbara Reis My Summit Story:

I came to the Summit in May of 2017 after having a total knee replacement 4 weeks earlier. I advanced as far as the physical therapist could take me and suggested I hire a personal trainer to progress further. I toured the Summit and immediately began working with trainer, Angi Johnson. We set goals and began working out 3 days a week. I have been so pleased with my knee rehab as well as the benefits to my overall fitness level.

After joining the military, I began participating in Strongman competitions and have placed in the Top 2 of several exercise events. I’m just your average guy who enjoys training, Crossfit and working on increasing my entire body’s general range of motion.

Over the holidays with family, was ancestry a topic of discussion? Why not delve into finding out more about family history and establishing a family tree?

Long before the Internet, there were many outlets developed for documenting family facts. Our expert, Bryan Davis, a local genealogist, will share countless ways to dig up long-ago facts stored in old family bibles, photo albums and scrapbooks; along with court records, legal documents and certificates. Even old cemetery plots can provide long-lost information. From those archives he will then navigate enthusiasts to use the endless resources of the Internet, along with these findings, to establish an active, electronic family tree using Ancestry. com. This class meets twice weekly for 5 weeks. For more information call 254.298.5403.

Hydro-Fitness

Hydro-Fitness helps build strength and endurance while toning muscles in a low-impact environment. Leg workouts in the water emphasize your lower body as the water gives your submerged muscles up to 14 times the resistance of air!

The harder you work, the more resistance you encounter. Add in a specialized upper body workout and it’s a total fitness package! You must be 18 or older to participate in instructed classes unless approved by the Pool Manager.
