Design Fitness Centre classes are a unique blend of up-to-date coaching philosophies combined with traditional training values. We believe in functional fitness and training that will make your daily life easier so you continue to be active.  We encourage listening to your body and not pushing past acute pain, but go ahead and be completely uncomfortable with taking it up a notch if you like.  Unless otherwise stated,  all classes are scaled for all levels - beginners to advanced members (master athletes), providing you with a more accessible or more challenging exercise/intensity level if desired. Please get in touch if you aren't sure where to start, and keep your doctor in the loop.  We have to be extra careful exercising at home without in person guidance.  Consider your current fitness level,  past injuries, limitations you might currently have, and listen to your body while exercising in a safe clear space.  

Gentle Moves -   short and sweet when you know you need it, but are just getting started or have a small time window to move.  This is a great class if you're getting back into moving after a hiatus.  

Cardio Circuit / Cardio Class -  this is a shorter class geared to raising the heart rate in intervals of work and rest. Work at your own level - options for more intensity are given throughout.   

Yoga / Yogilates  - Often life is racing at full-speed, which may feel there is little time for a break or self-care of both your body and your mind. We live in a time where getting more in, more done and doing it faster is becoming the norm - some stress is good but most is detrimental to our health.  You've heard the term "Sitting is the new smoking?" The less we move, the less we are able to comfortably move.  Tight hips, immobile mid and lower back and pelvic, tight and painful shoulders are all becoming normal and indicative of a less mobile culture.  When you take time to take care of yourself, you will find you'll get it all in more efficiently with less harmful stress.  This class will provide you the means to both physical and mental balance.  Experience techniques you can use in times of stress and anxiety.  The combination of Yoga & Pilates reduces the risks associated with just one modality alone. 
​
Adults & Weights - Many physiologists believe Strength Training is the true "Fountain  of Youth". These classes are designed for all levels.  Options are given to allow beginners as well as advanced level members experience strength, fitness and endurance.  The class is designed in a variety of formats with the goal of providing basic, functional and then a little extra fitness for an active lifestyle and added health benefits.  Being functionally fit will have you moving with ease whether it is the ability to pick up a child from a crib, shoveling snow in a blizzard, or hiking the Grand Canyon - you'll find yourself able to navigate through life and mother nature much easier. Keep fit, balanced, strong and energized incorporating the use of your own body, handweights  and items around the house.

MobilityFit Rx - This could be your most important class. Feel better in your body, ease activities of the day, reduce stress and more with MobilityFit Rx -  a Restorative Exercise-based class. Be more intentional with not just stretching and lengthening the muscles, by focusing on restoration of muscles, tendons, and joints to improve overall ease of movement, You will provide much needed nutrition to your cells no matter your current fitness level.  This class incorporates a mind-body-connection, and encourages a balance of strength and flexibility.  We may use techniques such as self-myofascial release using foam rollers,  therapy or tennis balls, half domes or alternative, balance apparatus and various other small pieces of equipment/bolstering.  Floor work is expected in this class.  This is a slower paced classe where the emphasis is to restore where there is restriction, and improve mobility that essential to overall health and longevity.   ​
