| - I recently went back to try one of their trial TRX classes. I'd done some of these types of classes back in KY before I moved here, so I knew how relatively easy or advanced this type of class could be. I mean, for $10, I figured it was worth a shot. Plus, I missed coming here since my Groupon had run out. I had been online looking at their schedule, and it does seem like they've added a few other classes (as well as one Reformer class on Sundays) to their schedule, which I can't wait to try--Booty Barre Flex and Flow, Cardio Reformer, Rehab Reformer, and Core Circuit.
Anyways, I was greeted by the instructor, Chandra, and we ended up starting at roughly 5:05pm since we were waiting for the rest of the attendees/payment to be processed.
Class: Well, first, the straps aren't the "official" TRX straps, but they still do the same job: provide you with body weight resistance training while being suspended from an apparatus with an overhead beam. Chandra started the 3 of us out (I believe that you can have up to 5 or 6 in a class, although don't quote me on that) with various exercises for each part of the body--legs, arms, chest, back, etc. Then, during a segment in the middle, we did some core and abs exercises. Afterwards, we did get up again and finished out another set of leg exercises, but by then it was roughly 50 minutes and we were working up a good sweat. Luckily, they propped open a door and Chandra gave us 15 second or 30 second breaks to rest or get water. The intervals are timed and you are asked to do the exercise to the best of your ability, modifying when necessary. There were a few times that I had to modify due to a wrist issue. Regardless, I feel like I still got a good workout and sweated quite a bit. The end, though, was the best part. She stretched us out for about 5 minutes (using the straps).
For me, I felt like I had taken enough previous TRX classes (or even worked out enough) to know what body part or proper form Chandra wanted for each of the exercises, so it wasn't as daunting as it seemed. I did like that she walked around and checked out our form and had us correct any problems immediately. She was also good about answering any questions that were raised or explaining different types of exercises and the way they worked certain body parts or how you were supposed to feel.
I'm glad that Chandra was asking for our feedback, as it was a Trial/Test class. I though it was a good workout and am glad that they're incorporating this into their regular schedule. For now, it seems like they're gonna have another week of classes offered on a trial basis, but that when the classes are added to the schedule, they will be twice a week, in the morning and evening--although a time hasn't been specified yet.
I was glad to be a guinea pig and am excited to come back and try out more of their classes!
