Workshops

Take one of our activity-specific workshops to improve your performance by increasing your strength. Strong muscles let you perform more efficiently, with less effort, and decrease the risk of injury. Our 90-minute activity-specific workshops will give you an understanding of the fundamentals of strength training: how to determine how much weight to use, how many reps and sets, how often to work out, how and when to increase the weight. After this introduction (when we will also answer your fitness questions), we will do a workout tailored for one specific sport or activity. You will receive a copy of this workout so you can continue on your own. If you have a suggestion for a workshop not currently being offered, please contact us. We would be pleased to develop a custom workshop for you, your club, or your business. |
Fit and Healthy, Simply
for people too busy to cook or exercise
This one-session workshop covers tips for preparing healthy meals and for fitting in exercise when you think you don't have time for either cooking or working out.
Quick, healthy, delicious

Quick, simple, effective workouts
Do you skip exercise altogether because you simply don't have an hour to spare? What if you could do your cardio in 15 minutes (or less!) and your strength training in 10 minutes? Add in a few more minutes to warm up before and stretch afterwards, and you will have had a great workout in less than 30 minutes, and you'll feel great afterwards.
Judy Wolff, Certified Personal Trainer, will teach you a few high-intensity interval workouts that you can mix and match for cardio and a whole-body strength workout you can do with nothing more than a pair of dumbbells. You will also receive handouts with detailed instructions so you can continue with these exercise routines at home. |

Always consult your physician before beginning any exercise program.
Strength Training for Cyclists
Cycling requires strong endurance to the back extensor muscles and low-back stability to maintain forward flexion while climbing hills and riding into strong winds without losing power or speed. Pedal stroke requires strong obliques and hips. And the foundation that affects all movement is a strong core.
Strength Training for Gardeners
Gardening isn't for sissies! You have to lift, bend, twist, and kneel while working hard carrying bags of mulch, pulling roots, pushing wheelbarrows, and digging holes. Strength training will give you more strength, endurance, and flexibility to work in your garden longer, with less effort, and with less soreness afterwards.
|
Strength Training for Hikers
Build strong hips, legs, core, and upper body so you can climb and descend trails with less effort and less next-day soreness. You will enjoy nature much more if you're not thinking about sore knees or low-back pain.
Strength Training for Dog Owners
Caring for your dog can exert a toll on your body: getting dragged by an exuberant pup on a leash, lifting a senior dog into the car, or throwing a tennis ball again and again and again for your retriever. Learn how to keep from getting your arm pulled out of its socket and how to lift your dog without breaking your back.
|
Strength Training for Golfers
Learn how to strengthen your core as well as all the major muscle groups to improve your swing speed and generate more force.
Strength Training for Care Givers
If you're caring for a relative with limited mobility, you know how much physical work it is to help someone sit up, transfer to a wheelchair, or turn over in bed. Exercises taught in this workshop focus on strengthening the muscles you use to perform these tasks.
|
Strength Training for Tennis Players
Add power to your strokes and serve, improve your dynamic balance, and prevent injury with this whole-body workout that emphasizes core strength and stability along with strengthening your hips, knees, ankles, upper body (chest and back), shoulders (including rotator cuff), and arms.
Strength Training for Desk Jockeys
Do you spend too much time sitting at your computer? Or behind the wheel of your car? Learn some exercises to strengthen your stretched-out back and stretches to open up your chest.
|
Strength Training for Skiers
|
|
Sore muscles and achy joints from skiing can be reduced with proper training and conditioning. This season enjoy your time outside to the fullest with improved strength in core, leg, and upper body muscles. Getting stronger will give you more stamina and will build muscles to help protect your joints from injury.
