Indoor Cycling
Indoor Cycling or “Spin” is a heart rate based group exercise class held on specialized stationary bikes.  It is an excellent form of aerobic activity, with a typical class participant burning between 400 – 600 calories in an hour.  Indoor cycling is beneficial in strengthening the muscles of the lower body, toning the hamstrings, quadriceps, calves and gluteus. 
Our intimate studio setting keeps participants engaged and focused on their fitness goals. Everyone sees immediate improvement in their fitness levels, regardless of where they start. The instructors are adept at tailoring workouts so individual goals can be met, while simultaneously creating a fun, energetic group experience.

Power Barre 
Power Barre is an adult ballet barre class. The body is worked as both a coordinated whole and in isolated muscle groups, creating a truly efficient and effective workout. The class focuses on primarily on the pelvic and core musculature to improve body alignment and facilitate good posture.  The format includes a series of lower body exercises at the ballet barre, core exercises on the mat, and resistance band work for the upper extremities.  No prior dance experience necessary. 

Suspension Training
Suspension Training is a revolutionary method of leveraged body weight exercise that builds power, strength and stamina as well as increases flexibility and balance. The straps create an unstable workout environment, requiring stabilization by the core musculature while working the extremities. Using specially designed straps that hang from overhead, hundreds of different “suspended” exercises are performed. 

Yoga
Yoga is an ancient discipline uniting the mind, body and spirit.  It is an important part of any fitness regimen.  Yoga incorporates deep breathing, balance and meditation to induce a sense of well-being and vital energy.  Balance is achieved by developing strength and flexibility through a series of poses or “asanas.”  Poses can be done in quick succession, creating heat in the body or more slowly to increase stamina and perfect the alignment of each pose.  The poses are a constant, but the approach to them varies depending upon the instructor. 

The Yoga classes at Tensile Strength Studio emphasize poses that are safe but challenging, creating an environment where the mind and body can work in harmony.  Our instructors have many years of training.  Each one draws upon a diverse array of styles to bring a unique and wonderful experience to the class participants.
