NEW class being offered at the fitness center!

We have a brand new class coming to the fitness center!

Strong by Zumba, is starting this week. Currently, we are the ONLY fitness center in Iowa offering this class! This class will be offered on Tuesday and Thursday evenings at 7:30 PM. We asked the instructor, Lore Hucka, to give us some information on what the class is, and here is what she shared:

Do NOT let the brand name “Zumba” fool you, it definitely is not a dance class. Strong by Zumba is perfect for fitness enthusiasts and students looking for more challenging, high intensity interval training (HIIT) workout.

How does it work?   
With most programs, music is an afterthought. The music in Strong by Zumba was crafted to drive the intensity in a challenging progression that provides a total body workout. "Every beat has a move. Every move has a beat."

What are the benefits?      
Moving in sync with the music makes you work harder. This class will push you past plateaus to help you reach your fitness goals faster. Using your own body weight, you will gain muscular endurance, tone, and definition, and you will experience an increased after-burn that can only be found with HIIT workouts.

Is Strong by Zumba for me?               

Can you hold a plank for a least 30 seconds?  Are you looking to burn mega calories, drop pounds, and tone up? Do you enjoy music? Then this class is for you! If you cannot hold a plank for 30 seconds, then start with some strength exercises to build up your strength before taking the class. Talk to one of the Personal Trainers (Ashley or Melissa) at Lake City 24 Hour Fitness, and they can help you reach that goal! I only ask this requirement because this program is an UP/DOWN program. I can modify the class, but I want you to feel successful when you leave the class! A lot of you are going to think "she's nuts-- I can’t do that!" The number one thing I have taught my group classes for the last four years is my students can do WAY more than they believe they can! Push yourself, challenge yourself, let's do it together! Let's get STRONG!!

We are so excited that Lore will be offering this new class, and we hope you all go and give it a try!

Have a great week!

  1. It was really great to know about this new fitness class. Keep sharing such informative posts. I have already joined a gym and regularly workout over there. As winter season is around the corner, have been looking for discount offers on winter work out gear. Hope to find few soon.
