Reservations will be Required to attend all scheduled Group Fitness Classes
Don't forget
All Group Fitness Classes are available to be booked as a private class at any available time
for you and your friends, at the Personal Training Rate

The Controlled Burn Fitness Studio is a Personal Training Facility
The Group Fitness Classes were originally designed as a gift to my Personal Training Clients to expose them to new ways of relaxing, challenging and exploring their bodies; a way to supplement their workouts and have a venue to give their friends a chance to sample some of the things they’ve heard about. Over time, the M/W/F Group Fitness Classes have evolved into an ongoing series1 hour classes that have the intensity and focus of a Personal Training Session in a slightly more relaxed atmosphere.
While following a general structure, each class progresses with consideration to all levels of participants, and will be adjusted to accommodate the group’s general interest, abilities, physical strengths, and limitations.
Requiring a reservation ensures that I have enough information about the participants that will be in attendance in order to design a Class that will be enjoyable for all fitness levels in attendance. I keep the classes small to ensure enough personalized attention.

The Benefits of SMR (Self-Myofascial Release) aka Foam Rolling

Everyone can optimize their physical potential
with a simple performance enhancing technique used by some of the world's greatest athletes, dancers, and fitness enthusiasts to help promote and maintain muscular flexibility and ideal range of motion.

I'm sure you've seen these foam rollers
Maybe you've even used one
Many people haven't, and those who have are usually using them incorrectly.
To reap the benefits of SMR it should be performed SLOWLY, and the first few times, under supervision to ensure that you are doing it correctly.

SMR "Self Myofascial Release" aka Foam rolling
is a performance enhancing technique, used by some of the world's greatest athletes, dancers, and fitness enthusiasts to help promote and maintain muscular flexibility and optimal range of motion.
It is also used as a recovery technique prior to and after intense workouts.

SMR is essential for every active individual.
It is excellent for anyone who experiences sore muscles, excessive tightness or decreased range of motion; anyone who wants to maximize their physical potential; anyone who needs a massage but doesn't enjoy a stranger's touch.

SMR is an excellent tool
It helps to improve flexibility; is a perfect supplement to professional massages; is essential for anyone who lives an active lifestyle, and is looking to maintain a balanced, well cared for body.

Please Note
SMR can be uncomfortable at times, sometimes painful.
I usually suggest that participants attend at least one Breath-Control and Mindful-Movement Workshop or a Restorative/Relaxation Class at The Controlled Burn Fitness Studio prior to attending an SMR Workshop in order to give participants the awareness/tools to deal with the discomfort one may experience while performing SMR.

When performing SMR
Breathe and Relax

Please feel free to contact the Controlled Burn Fitness Studio
with any questions and to schedule your own private SMR Class/Workshop. Maximum 4 Participants

How do you care for your spine?

Last week, someone asked "How do you care for your spine?"
 


My Answer
I take care of my ENTIRE body!

When considering my spine, I have to consider every part of my body…it’s all connected.
I maintain a balanced body. A body that is strong, flexible, articulate, and functional.
Standing Core and flexibility is attended to on a daily basis.
I utilize Ballet, Yoga, and Pilates based techniques and use sports specific training depending on what my body has been asked to endure.
I perform Slow and controlled SMR at least 3 times a week.
I get massages when possible.
Visit my chiropractor after intense hill training/runs and long days in my kayak.
I keep my body hydrated.
I fuel my body with nutritious and delicious food.
I never take it for granted that my body is the sum of all its parts.
To have a healthy spine, I have to maintain a healthy body.
: )
