PREMIUM GROUP FITNESS CLASSES

Hatha Yoga B IHatha Yoga takes a minimalist approach to burning calories, contracting muscles and stressing the body’s cardiovascular system while encouraging concentration on subtle energy flows that fosters an inner awareness of body position.

Tai Chi will improve balance, health, awareness, agility, and coordination.TRX Classes B I ATRX training is a type of training that uses your own body weight and gravity to build strength, flexibility, balance, mobility, core and joint stability, all while preventing injuries. The best part is all ability levels and ages can train on the TRX suspension trainer and achieve great results. Pilates ITaken directly from Joseph Pilates’ training methods, Pilates exercises focus on the core postural muscles that keep the body balanced and support the spine. Pilates teaches awareness of breath and purposeful, concentrated movement in order to strengthen deep torso muscles and “re-educate” the body to move in its most efficient way.

FREE FITNESS ORIENTATIONSThis 45 to 60 minute session is designed to introduce you to our equipment and the basic components of exercise. It will include a personal workout card that our fitness staff will note seat heights and other information for your future use. Orientations are given by appointment only. To schedule an orientation call or email Andrew Falk, Facility Manager at (513) 745-6262 or [email protected]. New members are encouraged to take advantage of this FREE service. Please note that anyone under the age of 16 is required to complete an orientation before using the fitness center.

PERSONAL TRAINING One of our nationally certified personal trainers will design a specialized program and work one on one with you to help you attain your personal goals. First, you will need to schedule an initial consultation. The consultation consists of a meeting in which we will establish your fitness goals, and take you through a series of assessments (wear workout clothes). Before your first “hands on” training session your personal trainer will use the information acquired during the initial consultation to design a program for you. The number of training sessions you purchase is dependent on your needs. Individual trainer information and fees can be found below. Please directly contact the trainer best suited for your needs to set up an appointment. For general information contact the Facility Manager, Andrew Falk at (513) 745-6262.

GROUP TRAININGInterested in something a little more affordable than personal training and more personalized than a group fitness class? Our trainers have specific hourly rates for training individually as well as with groups, but if you have 3 or more people and are interested in committing to a longer time frame (typically between 4 and 8 weeks) then we offer more affordable individual rates for group sessions. Rates may vary slightly depending upon the type of session that is being offered (Yoga, TRX, Cycling, Kettlebell, General Boot Camp, etc). If you would like to create your own group training class with 3 or more of your friends, feel free to contact any of our trainers directly.

ROBIN HOOD (Recommended: Ages 8 & up) By Greg Banks

Good and evil take center stage in this tale of a legendary outlaw who robs from the rich to give to the poor.

But when they run afoul of the greedy Prince John, the deceptive Sheriff of Nottingham devises an elaborate plot to discover Robin’s hideout and capture him once and for all.
