- Group Fitness: Our Group Fitness studio provides the setting for a variety of group fitness classes and instruction: Yoga, Mat Pilates, Tai Chi, Step Aerobics, Active Older Adult Fitness, Zumba, and Dynamic Conditioning are just a few of our offerings. From time to time, the Gordon JCC also offers special programs or classes that require an additional fee, and that is indicated when appropriate. No special equipment is required for any of our classes, although participants are encouraged to bring their own mat for yoga and Mat Pilates. Indoor Cycling: Our studio features Schwinn AC Performance Plus Carbon Blue bikes with MPower Echelon consoles and triple-link pedals.
- Personal Training: Looking to step up your fitness? Working with a trainer can help you to reach your fitness goals, and helps ensure you’re exercising safely and correctly. All our trainers are certified by nationally recognized organizations and many have additional certifications and provide specialized services. A Physical Activity Readiness Questionnaire (ParQ) is required prior to starting training and medical clearance is sought when indicated.
- Massage: Massage, or bodywork, is powerful! Whether it is referred to as pampering, therapeutic, or rejuvenating, and whether it is sought for stress relief, pain management, post-operative care, recovery, or relaxation, massage therapy can be a powerful tool in a healthcare program. Marijana Lucic is available to schedule appointments directly with clients. She may be reached at 615.596.2122 or lucic_marijana@yahoo.com
