Barre Assets: Drawing its inspiration from ballet, this class will help sculpt any body into a dancer's body with toned muscles and a strong core. This class uses the body bar, or ballet barre, and light hand weights to shape and elongate all of the major muscle groups.
Muddy Buddy: This class is designed to prepare participants for the annual Muddy Buddy Ride and Run Series, a unique seven mile trail running and biking race course that takes place in the San Jose area and includes biking, running, obstacles, and of course the infamous mud pit at the finish line. This class begins with a 30 minute ride followed by a 30 minute run and is offered through the Chestnut location. This unique class takes place partially outdoors.
Wicked Yoga: This unique yoga class is inspired by cast members from the musical phenomenon WICKED. The cast members will join the class and create a special WICKED pose for the class. Gravity Defying class members have the chance to win tickets and music from the show.
Beach Body: In this class, the focus is on sculpting and toning a different body part each week. Members who attend class regularly will be entered to win a trip to beautiful Nikki Beach in Turks and Caicos. Visit crunch.com for more details.
This class combines dynamic flow of postures connected by yogic breathing to open class members to a transcendental experience. This class includes live music, aromatherapy oils, and a room filled with candlelight.
