Time Out New York Visits 92Y May Center for Health and Fitness
In the current issue of Time Out New York, they offer a review of 50 fitness classes, rating “everything from Warrior Boot Camp to Booty Slide. (And, um, Eye Yoga.)”.
With three instructors and just 15 students, there’s nowhere to hide from the grueling reps of crunches, lifts and twists with medicine balls, kettlebells (imagine a bowling ball with a handle), and TRX, a total-body strengthening system where participants must use nylon straps to fight gravity. TRX was, by the way, designed by a Navy SEAL.
But don’t let that scare you. As a matter of fact, that might not be the most challenging class here. Another class enjoyed by fitness buffs is our Relentless class. Watch the videos in the aforementioned links, and see for yourself.
Next up for TONY was Splash Dance, a water based aerobics class. “It takes a while to work out how to move properly in the water,” wrote TONY, “but when it clicks, the added resistance, especially on the arms, makes it tough going (and, ipso facto, beneficial, right?).” And our pool has been using Del Ozone cleaning system for ten years, with Fit Celeb.com calling it: “...one of New York City’s cleanest public swimming pools.”
