What is HIAC? The acronym stands for High Intensity Anaerobic Conditioning and to sum it up in three words - demanding, efficient,
rewarding! Forget the days of long-winded, BORING “routines” the end result of which, lets face it, is lackluster. There is nothing
routine about this class! It’s a 1-hour challenge of mind, body, and soul that cumulatively produces a stronger, more athletic, more
confident YOU! This class is designed for men and women who want high intensity and high weights.
• What is anaerobic training? By definition, it means “without oxygen.” To put it simply, it consists of almost max effort work to
max effort work in short bursts (10 secs to 2 mins) followed by a brief rest period then repeated for a set amount of rounds.
• Why anaerobic and not aerobic? Anaerobic is much more efficient (less time in the gym while achieving greater results)
Anaerobic is muscle-sparing and muscle-building (concentrated burning of adipose tissue not muscle tissue while increasing lean
muscle mass) Anaerobic conditioning also increases aerobic conditioning but it does not work the other way around (as your
anaerobic threshold increases, so does aerobic capacity, but aerobic exercise does not increase anaerobic conditioning)
• What types of exercises are used? The list is abundant and diverse! From the traditional to completely “outside the box”:
traditional weight movements, kettlebells, sledge hammers, tractor tires, drive sleds, MMA-inspired techniques (no you won’t
get punched in the face), battling ropes - the list goes on and on and no workout is ever the same!

Elite Power Hour with Vinette Kester - Tu/Th @ 6
(Designed for men/women who want intensity intervals with low weights and sustained heart rate)
Elite Power Hour is a whole body circuit style workout designed to burn TONS of calories, strengthen and tone muscles, reduce
stress, lose weight, and increase energy. You will be challenged to push outside your comfort zone to maximize your efforts.
• How It Works - Elite Power Hour can aid in muscle toning, as well as increasing aerobic and cardiovascular capacity, which work
in combination for the ultimate “get fit” environment. This routine includes intervals of high intensity exercises, followed by
recovery intervals of light to moderate intensity exercises in order to reach and sustain target heart rates. Due to the fact that
this training involves pushing yourself to do intense exercise intervals, this workout can provide many advantages that the usual
exercise routines cannot offer including, aerobic, anaerobic, muscular endurance, and fat burning like never before!
• What to Expect- You’ll never really know what to expect when you come to this class, but what you will always get is a great
workout as you move through a series of stations designed to Meet

muscles. Stations may include body weight exercises, weights, bars, TRX, battle ropes, and more! Class
may be modified for all levels of fitness, so come one, come all!
