Are you stuck in a workout rut or feel like your progress has plateaued? Or worse, your motivation is starting to wane? You’re not alone, and there’s an easy fix we all have access to: variety. At The DAC, our Group X schedule is designed to offer just that. A varied fitness routine isn’t just more fun, it also keeps your body challenged in new ways, preventing burnout and injury while maximizing your results.
Why Variety Matters:
- Avoid Plateaus: Repeating the same workout leads to adaptation, which slows progress.
- Prevent Injury: Overuse injuries are common when we only do one type of movement.
- Stay Motivated: New formats keep things exciting and give you something to look forward to.
- Well-Rounded Fitness: Strength, cardio, flexibility, and balance all matter. Mixing formats ensures you are covering all your bases.
Explore the Variety on Our Group X Schedule
Here’s a look at the amazing variety you’ll find in just one week at The DAC:
- Cycle & Cardio: Start your Monday strong with Spinning at 6am led by Amber. Craving more intensity? A ZONE Group Training or ZONE Tread class will deliver! 9am HIIT is waiting for you on Mondays and throughout the week, early morning, mid-morning, mid-day, and evening.
- Mind-Body Balance: Find your center with our variety of Yoga classes offered several times throughout the week, morning, mid-day, and evening, with a team of highly talented and extensively experienced instructors. Other mat sciences classes include Pilates Mat with fantastic instructors Marilyn and Paige, or Ellové with Chelsea, and WARRIOR Rhythm offers a very unique, musically driven mind-body experience.
- Strength & Sculpt: On Mondays and Fridays at noon, Flow Barre provides a high-energy, beat-thumping blend of balance, strength, and flexibility to get that sculpted look. Want to learn how to lift with a barbell? Group Power teaches the strength training basics and so much more! WARRIOR Strength, offered four times a week, combines high-energy cardio with powerful strength training, all set to an adrenaline-pumping rock soundtrack to motivate.
- Water Workouts: Don’t miss Aqua FIT Monday-Friday at either 9am or 11am. These low-impact, high-resistance workouts are great for joint health and all fitness levels. Our Masters Swim class invites any swimmers to an expertly coached conditioning training that will help improve technique, cardio and breath work for all athletic levels.
- Dance & Rhythm: On Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday we dance! Cardio Funk, Cardio Dance, and Cardio Groove provide plenty of rhythmic, feel-good movement that burns calories and lifts spirits.
- Unique Formats: Mix it up with Mobility + Spin or Tai-Chi to work on longevity, recovery, and functional mobility.
