| - My first and last experience true surfing experience before coming to Surfset LV was a disaster at the beach so needless to say, my interaction with anything surf-related since has been limited strictly to the Internet or with accompanying turf. So when I signed up for a trial class here at this new boutique fitness studio, I surprised even myself at how quickly I was willing to get back on a board.
Surfset is a new boutique fitness studio that designs its classes around a stationary surfboard that essentially sits on three rubber balls, meaning you have to work to stay balanced all the while integrating Pilates moves with bicep curls, push-ups, yoga positions, etc. depending on the class you take, with four types being offered.
+ BALANCE - a yoga/Pilates-inspired class to improve flexibility
+ BUILD - a strengthening class utilizing resistance bands
+ BURN - a quicker paced, higher intensity class with faster
+ BLEND - a combination of all of the above
I took a Build class with Jason and a Balance class with Jennifer, both of which I could definitely feel my body being challenged just trying to stay stabilized on the board while combining the movements of the class itself. Being trial classes, however, meant that not only were we trying the classes for the first time, but the instructors were testing out their lesson plans too, and therefore very open to feedback about how the class went and how to tweak it for the future.
Hours of operation are currently up in the air as the owner(s) gauge guest response, but the general idea right now is to start the day's first class at 6a and possibly end with classes as late as 10p. Pricing for the most part is $20/class (each is around 50min or so), with a 6-class package at $100. Monthly membership will also be available, but the actual price tag is still TBD - hopefully the cost will also be based on client feedback like the hours! :) This looks like a great complement to cardio training to tone and strengthen, but if it is too expensive I can see it being a deterrent - it definitely seems like a place you can start to see results from, but only from attending on a consistent basis.
