The J announces offering of two new fitness classes

YOUNGSTOWN

The Jewish Community Center, 505 Gypsy Lane, is offering two new fitness classes: Chiseled and Aqua Zumba.

Chiseled participants will use barbells, steps and rubberized plate weights. In Chiseled, basic free weight exercises are choreographed with dynamic music. These classes are low-impact and high energy. The focus is on explosive full body movements and gradual progression to more challenging exercises.

Classes take place Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9 a.m. to 9:55 and from 5:30-6:25 p.m.

Session 1: Aug. 31-Sept. 28 (No class Sept. 9 and 30).

Session 2: Oct. 5-28.

Session 3 Nov. 2-25.

Session 4: Dec. 7-30.

The cost is $25 per session for members, and $35 per session for nonmembers. A special first-month introductory price is $10 for members, which is good only for the Chiseled class during September.

Maximum capacity of the class is 9 participants.

The second new class is Aqua Zumba. The class takes place in the pool and is for people of all ages and fitness levels.

They will participate in safe, effective and challenging water-based routines that integrate the Zumba fitness formula and philosophy into traditional aqua fitness disciplines. The one-of-a-kind class fuses Latin rhythms and easy-to-follow moves. The schedule follows:

Class times: Tuesdays and Thursdays from 6:30-7:15 p.m.

Session 1: Aug. 31 through Sept. 28 (no class Sept. 9 and 30).

Session 2: Oct. 5-28.
