Dance Fitness/Strength Training classes have become one of our most requested classes by both men and women alike.

Dance Fitness Tuesday’s & Thursdays - eliminates the "work" from "working out" by combining amazing, irresistible Latin and international music with dynamic, yet simple exercise moves, using their unique intermittent training format.  It is a Latin form of aerobics, so let loose and enjoy your workout!

Strength Training - Monday's & Wednesday's - Monday's class focuses on lower body & abs / Wednesday's class focuses on upper body/abs.

Strength Training is a vital part of a balanced exercise routine that includes aerobic activity and flexibility exercises. Regular aerobic exercise, such as dance fitness, running or using a stationary bike etc... makes your muscles use oxygen more efficiently and strengthens your heart and lungs. When you strength train with weights, you're using your muscles to work against the extra pounds (this concept is called resistance). This strengthens and increases the amount of muscle mass in your body by making your muscles work harder than they're used to. Some of the benefits you will see from strength training are an increase endurance and strength for sports and fitness activities, Improves focus and concentration, reduces body fat and increased muscle mass, helps burn more calories even when not exercising, may reduce the risk of short-term injuries by protecting tendons, bones and joints and helps prevent long-term medical problems such as high cholesterol or osteoporosis (weakening of the bones) when you get older.

Classes are held at the UNITY Park Building Monday through Friday 6:00 a.m. - 7:00 a.m. with instructor Julie Thompson.  Cost is just $4.00 per class or $40.00 for a punch pass of 20 classes.  Contact Ivins Parks and Recreation for information (435) 634-0689.
