Class Descriptions

20/20 Cardio
Mix up your workout with this cardio combo class. Instructors will take you through 20 minutes of 1 type of cardio, then switch it up for 20 minutes of another type of cardio. You will love this high intensity, heart pumping workout!

Ab-Solute 30
With a combination of crunches, lifts, twists, and “crunch-less” exercises this class will strengthen and tone your midsection while providing stability exercises for a total core-training workout! Crunch it into your busy schedule a couple times per week and mix it with some cardio to get results that you will be ab-solutely crazy about!

AeroSpin 45
This is a high energy spinning class. The format will take you through climbs, jumps, and sprints while the instructor motivates you to keep going.

SpinCore
The workout that revolves around YOU! This 45-minute indoor cycling class will take you on a ride through the flat-lands to the mountain-tops!  Whether you are a beginner or an advanced rider, this thrilling workout is sure to have you spinnin’ (not to mention sweating)!  We will take you for a ride that you won’t forget.  We will round it up with abdominal exercise for the last 15 minutes of the class.

AquaFit
A virtual weight room where every muscle and every joint can be strengthened…you’re sweating and burning calories…all without any impact on your joints.  A non-weight bearing WET workout using dumbbells, noodles, and kickboards. Think you can’t sweat in water?...Bring it on!

Sculpt45
A total body sculpting workout in only 45 minutes! Great for beginners and awesome for those at a weightlifting plateau!  Tune in and tone up during your lunch break or after work.

BG Kickbox
Pick up the pace with an exciting kickbox class. Learn how to punch, jab and kick and burn off steam in the process. This is a high intensity course that is a great workout!

Pilates 45
Using your core and stability this 45-minute class focuses on toning and elongating the muscles to look lean and firm. Pilates exercises require absolute muscle control to both guard against injury and to achieve full functional benefit from each movement. Each movement has purpose and each repetition of an exercise is of high quality, so favorable muscle patterning will become second nature.  Focus is on quality of movement, not quantity.  Focus on performing the exercise to engage each muscle group.

PiYo45
This class is a blend of Pilates and Yoga to offer a range of modifications for those looking to do a little bit of both exercise formats. Each movement will flow into the next series of moves to give those muscles a lean flexible figure.

Yoga 45
Stretches and postures are taught and performed to increase your body’s range of motion, flexibility, and sense of balance. Concentration is on “you” with instruction on proper breathing to relax your mind, body, and spirit.

Nordic Walking

Nordic walking uses two specially designed poles to work the upper body while walking.  Like cross country skiing, the poles are used by the arms to match each step the person takes.

Nordic walking works the arms, shoulders, and upper chest and back muscles through a full range of motion; stretching and lengthening muscles which are often tight.  The motion works to overcome the hunching forward that many adopt while working at desks, computers, reading, or watching television.  Poles can be rented from the BGSU Student Recreation Center Pro Shop.
