It's Time to Play in the Yard
The weather's cooling down and the Yard is heating up at The Paseo Club, where every workout increases fat utilization, assists in weight loss, improves coordination and helps with balance. Personalized, professional instruction is the hallmark of each of these classes:

Cross-Fusion Cross-Fusion is a diverse assortment of functional strength exercises and metabolic conditioning performed at scalable intensities that enhances athletic development, building strength, increasing power, speed and aerobic capacity.

Met-Con Met-Con is a metabolic strength and conditioning program design where the essential dominant movement patterns are addressed to create injury prevention and "pre-hab," along with strength, stability, mobility and power to improve the body's kinetic chain and neuropathways.

Bells & Burn The best way to strengthen your whole body while creating excess post-exercise oxygen consumption, aka "the burn" is Bells & Burn! This fun, dynamic, high-energy class has music to move you. Bells & Burn is a whole-body functional workout with an emphasis on joint mobility/stability and core development in a metabolic training format.

The workouts for each class are scaled to the individual for maximum safety and effectiveness.
