June 2021 Group Ex Updates

As we are moving forward towards our perceived definition of normalcy, it is hard not to notice that classes are booming after having increased capacity numbers! It is pleasing to see that numerous classes are enjoyed by many.  Passing by, we see your determined faces and the sweat forming on your brow and hear sounds of laughter and the occasional, “woo hoo”!

As always, we continue taking assessments to determine how we can improve our program and offer options that will better serve you.  Receiving your input and feedback is valuable to us. Therefore, you will notice a few changes on our June schedule which begins Tuesday, June 1st.  Looking ahead:

  • Tuesday and Thursday evening BODYCOMBAT will be canceled.
  • Tuesday’s 8:00 AM Cardio + Core will become Barbell Pump.
  • Wednesday’s 11:00 TRX will now be for beginners and seniors.

Take note that when a BODYPUMP sub is needed, the class will be listed as Barbell Pump and SH’BAM will be Dance Fit.

Keep the feedback coming and thank you for your attendance and support!

May 2021 Group Ex Updates

We want to thank all our Group Ex participants for attending our classes! In our pursuit to meet your needs, we vary our class formats throughout the week for a cross-training experience. Please take opportunities to experience different classes and instructors.

The FAYMCA is saddened to announce that three of our instructors are leaving us at the end of April. Becca Moorhead, Merry Armstrong, and Jordan Paul, we thank you for contributing to the success of our Group Ex Program! We wish you well in all future endeavors. We will miss you!

Our Group Ex Schedule has been updated to reflect a few changes beginning May 3rd.

Halie’s Tuesday 8:00 AM Functional Fitness will move to Mondays at 8:00 AM. No classes will be held in the Functional Training Studio on Tuesday mornings at 8:00 AM.

Instructors are in place to take over classes previously taught by Becca M, Merry, and Jordan. To all instructors who have committed themselves to leading these classes, we are truly appreciative!

Alicia Palmere is now your instructor for Mondays and Wednesdays 6:30 PM BODYPUMP. Barbara Watts will soon be joining our BODYPUMP team. She will instruct Wednesday’s 10:00 AM and Friday’s 5:30 PM classes. While we are transitioning, some BODYPUMP classes will be Barbell Pump and will be led by instructors Sarah Antos and Laura Henry. This will also be the case when subs are needed.

Wednesday’s 10:00 am class has a name and format change from Functional Bootcamp to Functional Cardio. Shannon’s Friday HIIT and Cycling classes are switching times.

Get ready! It’s going to be a fabulous summer!
