Group Reformer Classes
Want to try Pilates equipment training but afraid to ask? The Reformer is the predominant piece of Pilates apparatus, designed to uniformly lengthen the body with gentle resistance. Because the reformer is spring loaded, it is gentle to the joints and can accommodate any body. Pilates classes meet once a week for 8 weeks. For more information contact FFC East Lakeview Fitness Director Martin Kimpston at mkimpston@ffc.com.
Pilates for Runners
Let Pilates improve your running program. Pilates strengthens the core. If your core is weak, then your body compensates by using muscles inappropriately. This can lead to tendonitis injuries or place your body in poor alignment, setting you up for knee, back, and hip pain. Contact FFC East Lakeview Fitness Director Martin Kimpston at mkimpston@ffc.com. for class schedule.
East Lakeview Bike Club!!
For all East Lakeview cycling enthusiasts! This new program includes weekly lakefront rides, group participation in city races, and monthly meetings to demonstrate bike maintenance. Cyclists, mountain bikers, and beginners are all welcome to join this social group. For more information contact FFC East Lakeview Fitness Director Martin Kimpston at mkimpston@ffc.com
