Week 2: Circuit Training
We will begin the session with an introduction to the weight machines, learning how to properly adjust and use them safely and effectively. Our small group fitness classes provide a supportive and motivating environment where participants receive personalized attention while still enjoying the energy of working out with others. With a limited number of participants, each session allows the coach to focus on proper form, individual goals, and modifications for different fitness levels, helping everyone build confidence and improve safely.
