Grinnell Regional Wellness and Fitness Center offers a
new group exercise class targeted to individuals wanting an intensive workout
that’s integrates team approach to exercise and fitness. This offering
complements the list of courses and fitness options designed to meet all levels
of fitness and ages.
“We’ll use a large team component as well as circuit
format to energize participants in a boot camp culture,” explains Holly
Pettlon, GRMC wellness specialist and instructor. “The one-hour class will
change depending on the weather so, for example, we may be outside running and
relays or a tug of war with ropes. Our goal is create an supportive environment
where participants can work together and encourage each other, with a full
understanding that individuals will be at different fitness levels. We’ll push
the limits in this high energy class with encouragement and team support.”
Like all exercise classes offered at GRMC, this will
include the option to have pre and post class fitness testing. Membership in
the GRMC fitness center also entitles members to a free monthly personal coaching
session.
“We want participants to focus on progress in health
not focus on numbers or measurements. We teach life-long wellness that
encourages families to build healthy habits and exercise options,” Pettlon
adds.
The Boot Camp class will be offered in six-week
increments. The first class will begin Thursday, Nov. 1, at 5:15 p.m. It will
be held Tuesdays and Thursdays, until Dec. 6. Individuals interested may
