Thank you to everyone who contributed to the Fitness Class Survey! We received more than 100 responses. As a result, we have some exciting changes for October. IN ADDITION to our regular class schedule, you'll also see:

Welcome Fitness Instructor Luis Salcido

An Air Force veteran, Luis' background is in teaching spin, fitness and personal training to military personnel to help them get and stay in shape.

At Ellsworth Air Force Base, he led training for all active duty Airmen in physical fitness to include spin class, calisthenics, weight training and long distance running. Luis excelled at increasing annual physical fitness assessments for active duty Airmen.

We are honored Luis is joining us and can't wait for our members to meet him. Join him at these classes:

• Tuesdays at 5:30am: Spin Class

• Wednesdays at 4:30pm: Spin in 45 minutes (perfect for right before yoga on Wednesday nights!)

• Thursdays at 5:30am: HIIT Class

What are HIIT classes?

High-intensity interval training (HIIT) fitness classes are a popular way to get fit quickly and effectively. HIIT workouts involve alternating between short bursts of high-intensity exercise and brief periods of rest. This type of workout can help you burn more calories, build muscle, and improve your cardiovascular health in a shorter amount of time than traditional workouts.

HIIT fitness classes typically last for 30-60 minutes. During a HIIT class, you will perform a variety of exercises at a high intensity for short periods of time, followed by brief periods of rest. The exercises may include cardio exercises such as running, jumping jacks, and burpees, as well as strength training exercises such as squats, lunges, and push-ups.

HIIT fitness classes are suitable for people of all fitness levels. However, it is important to start slowly and gradually increase the intensity and duration of your workouts as you get fitter. It is also important to listen to your body and take breaks when needed.

Stretch classes coming this month

Effective Oct 1, our evening water aerobics classes with Carlos are transitioning indoors. Join Carlos at 6:15pm on Tuesdays and Thursdays for a highly-demanded 30-minute stretch class! These classes will compliment Carlos' 5pm Power Hour really nicely.

We've heard you on the spin bikes... they're moving back to their original spin room! Thank you for your feedback.

Look for these class changes in the Monday News, on the website and in the app!
