Strength

Strength training uses resistance tools such as tubing, weights, and medicine balls to increase the strength, anaerobic power, and tone or size of muscles. Increased strength will help improve stamina for daily activities, recover more quickly from injuries, burn calories more efficiently and effectively, and create your ideal body and look. 

If you're looking to increase your strength, we have a multitude of classes from which to choose. We recommend cross-training as the most effective and efficient way to meet your fitness goals. Combined with cardio exercise, high intensity workouts, and flexibility training, strength training is part of a complete fitness program. So combine the exercises on this page with our other pages for great results.
