FIT classes are usually held on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 7:15 p.m., and Saturday's at 9:00 a.m. This week, 2 additional classes were added, at 2:30 p.m. on Tuesday and Thursday. It is yet to be determined if these extra classes will remain on the schedule. Yesterday I attended both the 2:30 and the 7:15 classes.
Here is a youtube clip that shows a small portion of a FIT class:

FIT is a total body workout class for people of all ages and abilities. It's great because it is never the same thing twice. In case you don't know, there are about 10 million ways a person can move their body. These classes incorporate at least that many. Work ranges from old fashioned situps, pushups & jumping jacks, to using medicine balls, kettle bells, heavy bags & more.
The class is fast paced & intense, unless it is specifically slowed down with some Yoga and Pilates moves. No matter what the work is, you are guaranteed 45 minutes of hard core fitness and sweat, with plenty of encouragement thrown in for good measure.
Be warned, this class is not for the faint of heart. If you show up, you are expected to work. Don't worry if you can't do every move, there is always a modification so you can work within your body's limitations. They will help you realize, though, that your body can do far more than you think it can. They will never push you beyond what you are capable of, but they will most definitely push you out of your comfort zone. That is what I love about it.
Sincerely,
