Airopes

smart workout's Airopes class is a total body workout: cardio , resistance, agility and balance. The "airopes" are the handles of a jumprope, with weights attached, but without the full length of a connecting rope. This enables the aerobic benefits of a jumprope, while avoiding the harsh impact of continuous jumping and permits incorporating an array of cardio moves. The swing resistance adds a continuous upper body workout while performing traditional lower body moves.


BOSU Ball

“BOSU” is an acronym for “Both Sides Utilized”. One side is completely flat, and the opposite side is essentially an exercise ball cut in half. All BOSU classes provide training for balance, and develop core muscles. The variation given at Smart Workout also includes cardio (jogging on the BOSU Ball), and strength (squats, push-ups). BOSU is particularly helpful for people with back problems.


Boxing

Boxing training stimulates all muscle groups, and provides the perfect combination of aerobic (with oxygen) and anaerobic (short-burst, without oxygen) exercise. The boxing workout improves every type of physical capacity: strength, coordination, reflexes, aerobic fitness, anaerobic fitness, and endurance.


Fun in the Sun

This warm-weather-minded cardio and resistance routine, incorporates exercises that mimic summertime activities. Stand on the flat side of a BOSU Ball to surf; loop resistance-building Dyna-Bands around your arms and legs and make like you’re swimming; strap on ankle weights to walk in the sand; and sub physio balls for beach balls, while tunes from the Beach Boys and Annette Funicello set the carefree vibe. Even though you won’t need sunscreen, you’ll definitely feel the burn


Helix

A lateral aerobic trainer, the Helix engages in a “sideways figure 8” motion, which tones the inner and outer thighs, glutes and core, while delivering an intense cardiovascular workout.

In contrast to conventional cardio machines which work on a front-to-back plane, the Helix’s horizontal figure eight motion achieves sculpting results usually obtained only by weight training, all while conditioning aerobically and burning fat!

Smart Workout’s original class moves through a range of “Helix motions”: arcs, surfing, leg pumps, squats, grinding, semi’s and ball riding, executed at varying speeds and resistance levels.

Smart Workout’s Helix class is a great training for tennis players, golfers, and skiers, and for anyone who wants a fantastic workout.


Hula Hoop

This low impact aerobic workout is an intense calorie burner. Weighted hula-hoops are used to tone abdominal muscles, promote correct body alignment, and increase balance.


Indoor Rowing

Indoor Rowing is a fusion class of low impact, high intensity cardio, and total body toning.
Build heart strength as you sprint across the water and battle against the current, all while sculpting your shoulders, back, legs, and core as you pull your oars. Indoor Rowing lets you push yourself to your limit, without joint pain or muscle aches. And with Smart Workout’s promise of never more than three to a class, you will feel like the captain of your crew!


Katami Bar

This is a total body muscle workout, using the Katami bar as a resistance aid. The trapezoidal shape of the Katami bar keeps your arms on an even plane, adding ease and accuracy to your workout.


Kettlebells

Mother Russia's best export since vodka---the ultimate in strength and endurance training.


Kickboxing

This workout is a fast combo of side kicks, jabs, crosses, hooks, uppercuts, and foot work. It is an intense workout, which burns loads of calories, and builds strength and endurance.


Spin

Spin is an intense, low-impact cardiovascular workout, which can burn 500 calories or more in a 45 minute class.
Spinning includes a variety of rides, combining hills and plains, (climbs and sprints), which are simulated by increasing or decreasing the resistance of the special bike.
Spinning also tones the lower body and builds endurance.
Spin is a fun and challenging workout, that’s suitable for all ages.


Step and Sculpt

“Step” is a low-impact aerobic workout, incorporating the action of stepping onto a platform to intensify the workout. “Step and Sculpt” is fusion workout, incorporating the use of free weights within an aerobic step routine.


Trampoline

Trampolining is an exercise that reduces body fat; firms legs, thighs, abdomen, arms and hips; increases agility; improves balance and coordination; strengthens muscles overall; and provides an aerobic effect for the heart.
Trampolining utilizes 3 forces: gravity, acceleration, and deceleration.   If your body is exposed to 1 ½ times the usual force of gravity, your body will strengthen itself to cope with the stress.
A study by NASA found that Trampolining as an exercise is 68% more oxygen efficient than other forms of exercise.   What this means is that you can exercise quite vigorously on a trampoline, without feeling out of breath, but still gain the same benefits you would from jogging on pavement.   It avoids the shin splints and knee problems associated with exercise on hard surfaces.   It also has the beneficial effect of restoring bone mass and can actually stop osteoporosis from getting any worse.
Trampolining also strengthens the spine.   Trampolining maximizes spinal imbibition, creating a positive impact on spinal and intervertebral disc health.

Tred n’ Shed

Tred n’Shed is an intensive 30 minute workout on the treadmill, employing interval bursts of speed., and incline; and backward and sideway walking to work a variety of muscles. Each participant is given a polar band to monitor heart rate. Only 2 people are permitted in this very special class.


Warrior Workout

Warrior Workout is a boot camp body conditioning with a focus on strength, agility, and speed. This is the intense training needed to build a warrior’s physique. A fast paced combo of dead lifts, planks, jogging over hurdles, push-ups, and sit-ups, this class will burn fat, build muscle, and give you killer abs!
