Group Exercise Schedule

Welcome to our New Group Exercise Schedule. In an effort to better serve you we have now added icons to our schedule. The purpose of the icons is to help guide you in your class selection. Each icon represents an aspect of health and wellness (scroll down to the bottom of the page to find the icon key). We used a scale of 1-3 (3 being the maximum potential benefit). So for instance if you want a class that will help strengthen your bones look for classes that have 2 or 3 . If you have any questions feel free to email your Health and Well-Being Director at emerten@ymcaknoxville.org

Class Descriptions

15 Min Abs/A.M. Abs

Nothing soft about it. 10-15 minutes of hard core abs. Let’s see how long you can last. Afternoon classes located in the aerobics gym, evening classes in the cardio room ab area.

Boot Camp

Fastest way to all around fitness. Fast paced combo of cardio and resistance training. Be prepared to bring it! Bootcamp Blitz: 30 minute attack for those of you on a tight schedule. Boot Camp condensed. Make it a COMBO: take abs before or after. (30 min.)

Cardio-Fusion

Cardio Interval class INTENSIFIED! Many different modalities of cardio training all in one great fat-burning class. This class may include steps, stability balls, med balls, tubing, and/or hand weights. (45 min.)

Dance Flow

Danyl scripts a dance class based on traditional Latin, African, and Contemporary American styles. If you think dance isn’t cardio then you haven’t met Danyl yet. Be ready to be blown away. (45 min.)

H2O

Water aerobics. I could go on about this one forever (but I’m running out of room on this page!). Huge therapeutic benefits. Good for all abilities. Low impact but still high intensity.

Impact

It’s time to start high steppin’ for our half marathon walk challenge in April. Join Carrie for a walking tour of Downtown. When the weather is bad we will bring it inside on the treadmills. (45 minutes)

Interval Blitz

Latest and greatest in the calorie burning craze. Want to maximize your before and after calorie burn, the answer is intervals. Join us in this class to get it done, and get it done quickly. (30 min.)

Latin Dance

Who knew exercise could be so fun?!! No partner needed. Learn salsa, meringue, and bachata. This is not Zumba. It is actual dance lessons. Free to members.

Pilates

A balanced body workout. Builds strength with a focus on core stability. All fitness levels are welcome for the challenge. (45 min.) Beginners Pilates: Form is paramount in Pilates. Start slow and precise.

Spin

Best calorie burner in the building! Good for all abilities. Participants range from the professional athletes to the senior with the hip replacement (we’ve had them both). You decide how hard you will work.
