TRX Training

TRX Extreme

Yoga

This total body workout system will challenge your core strength, balance, and flexibility as you perform exercises with a portion of your body suspended by the TRX trainer. Using this unique training style, the TRX Suspension trainer will rapidly improve your functional strength and kinesthetic awareness using innovative exercises that require nothing more than a TRX and your own body. Whether you are an elite athlete or just starting out, the TRX has something new to offer you.

Take your Suspension Training to the extreme! This class will be a bit more challenging by building upon more advanced strength and cardio exercises developed for the TRX system. Goal will be to take fewer breaks so the heart rate stays elevated to give you a tough and highly effective workout.

This gentler, slower paced practice makes it more accessible to people of all sizes, ages, and fitness levels. The class removes any fears or challenges in doing yoga, while it also assists with stress reduction and weight management. It creates an atmosphere of safety and comfort that fosters self-esteem and body awareness.

Plus, it serves as a resource for midcareer professionals to pursue studies in landscape architecture. Please contact the University of Richmond Landscape Design Program Specialist for more details.

Landscape Design Professional Certificate Curriculum Landscape Design Core This curriculum consists of nine courses that address landscape design principles and skills. Students learn about small-scale design applications, site engineering methods, and the creative use of plant materials. Project assignments such as site plans and construction details are required in the Landscape Design Core curriculum and are critiqued by the respective instructor. Students benefit from the successful solutions offered in these constructive sessions. Typically, students proceed through the Landscape Design Core while participating in the Woody Plants Core. CEUs: 40.5 Timeframe for completion: 2.5 to 3 years minimum Admission and Completion Requirements For admission requirements and Landscape Design Professional Certificate completion requirements, log on to our web site: scs.richmond.edu/landscape

Woody Plants Core This curriculum consists of five courses that can be taken in any sequence. Completion of the Woody Plants Core is one step in the process of receiving the Landscape Design Professional Certificate. Students study approximately 300 plants suitable for the growing environment in the Mid-Atlantic region during various seasons. Field study sessions are scheduled at local gardens and nurseries and are supplemented by lectures on horticulture, nursery and planting standards. Some students choose to complete only the Woody Plants Core curriculum. This option is ideal for landscape professionals and horticulture staff seeking to improve knowledge and proficiency in the industry.

Landscape Design Program classes are held at Lewis Ginter Botanical Garden, our partner in education.
