Group Fitness

Group Fitness with Christy B

I am a certified instructor for Zumba®, Aqua Zumba®, Zumba Sento®, Zumba Toning®, STRONG Nation™, SH1FT, L1FT, Piyo Live, Insanity Live, and Transform Live. I am also licensed through the American Council of Exercise or A.C.E. for Group Exercise.

I like to describe Group Fitness as a fun way to sweat, burn calories, work off stress, and strengthen muscles and your heart while tricking the brain to focus on the FUN and not the work! I love group fitness classes because they build a community of like minded individuals that push each other to do more than they would on their own. The energy of a group all doing the same thing helps you to mentally Dig Deep and the motivation to continually show up grows as your connection to the group grows. The accountability of a group class helps keep you on track by creating an appointment to your self, much like a hair or doctors appointment.

I have 3 rules for any and every group class that I teach:

1. Smile!
2. Keep Moving!
3. Have Fun!

That way no matter what your moves look like or which direction you are going, as long as you are keeping your body safe you are doing it RIGHT!!

Scientifically, group fitness classes have been proven to lower anxiety and depression, to lower A1C or glucose/sugar numbers positively affecting type 2 diabetes, strengthen the heart muscle lowering risk for heart related issues like stroke, and aid in weight loss when done consistently over a period of time.

Please check my calendar for current and local group fitness classes. I hope to sweat with you in one soon!
