UPLIFT has cracked the code to create a strength-training program that’s the perfect balance of effective and FUN! This is not a dance class, but each routine is choreographed to iconic music and you’re likely to find a shimmy or a booty shake. Class starts with a cardio warm-up and transitions to standing routines with equipment, alternating between upper and lower body. A balance track is included after you’ve fatigued your muscles- which is challenging, rewarding, and a welcome change of pace before transitioning to the mat. We complete the workout with routines for the core, booty, abs and chest and a cool down with deep stretching. The experience leaves you feeling strong and confident.
