 EG encourages all participants to bring their own mat for hygienic reasons.

20/20/20 This jam packed, exciting program includes 20 minutes of low impact cardio, 20 minutes of muscle conditioning with dumbbells, and finishes off with 20 minutes of stretching. A class that gives you a little bit of everything, that will guarantee you leave each class feeling challenged, yet refreshed!

55+ MOVE YOUR BODY What better way to keep in shape then to be moving your body! This class is geared towards the 55+ age group and will focus on stretching, toning, and strength building that will challenge you to push your body to your limits, with our instructor providing modifications where needed.

BOLLYX A Bollywood workout that combines dance and fitness with a mix of low/high intensity choreographed movements, including warm-up, dynamic stretch, upper and lower body strength.

Running shoes and water bottle required.

FUSIONFIT  A mix of Bollywood dance, yoga, bootcamp (core) and kickboxing styles that offers a balance of cardio, strength, and flexibility. Every class can be either ten minutes of each style or focus on two styles per class. This program offers variety and benefits of different styles in one class, to keep participants engaged. No weights or equipment required.

Running shoes, yoga mat and water bottle required.

PIYO  PiYo combines the muscle-sculpting, core-firming benefits of Pilates with the strength and flexibility advantages of Yoga. We crank up the speed to deliver a true fat-burning, low-impact workout that leaves our body looking long, lean, and incredibly defined. With every action-packed PiYo session, you can burn excess fat, sculpt and define your whole body as you minimize the aches and pains that come along with high-impact workouts. No

matter your age or body type, PiYo will help give you dramatically visible, incredibly beautiful results.

YOGA - HATHA (ONLY FALL 2023)  An introduction to Hatha Yoga designed for students who are new or returning to yoga. You will be guided by our instructor to gently explore basic postures and simple breathing techniques, followed by guided relaxation. Yoga improves your tone, helps strengthen and balance the body, and is ideal for counteracting the stresses of daily life.

YOGA - YIN  Yin is a slower-paced, meditative style of yoga where postures are held for longer periods of time than in other traditional styles. It is designed to target the body’s connective tissues to increase circulation in joints and improve flexibility. Breathing techniques incorporated in this program will help to lower levels of stress and anxiety.
