International Training Program Comes to Metro Fitness Club
 

Oklahoma City, OK - Oklahoma City's Southern Athletic Club is offering exclusive group fitness training from renowned exercise expert and Olympian, Les Mills. The high energy exercise programs, developed by his son, Phillip, incorporate lively music and various movements to get people back to the gym.

Southern Athletic Club strives to give our clients the best resources to get on their path to wellness, said Jeff LeCrone, Marketing Director for Southern Athletic Club. We are the only fitness club in Oklahoma City to offer Les Mills classes. The International Health Racquet & Sports Club Association's magazine states Les Mills fitness classes are doing for group exercise what McDonald's did for hamburgers. The classes combine fitness routines with great music to get participants the results they are wanting. Southern Athletic Club is exclusively offering four of the fitness programs designed by Les Mills:
 

BODYFLOW  combines the fundamentals of Yoga, Tai Chi, and Pilates and music to create a workout designed to build strength and flexibility.

BODYJAM a 55-minute class, it brings the elements of hip hop and Latin dancing to a cardio workout.

BODYPUMP targets the major muscle groups using weights. Set to music, BODYPUMP puts you through the paces with squats, presses and lifts designed to help strengthen the body.

BODYVIVE, a low-impact workout that allows you to choose how hard you want to work. Using VIVE balls, VIVE tubes and optional hand weights, instructors provide step-by-step instructions to a new, healthier you.

"Because of the different levels of expertise, Les Mills classes are great for beginners or for fitness experts," said LeCrone. "Every three months, Les Mills classes change the routine and music, giving participants a new fresh workout."

Classes are available 6:00 am thru 7:30 pm and on weekends. For a complete schedule log on to www.southernathletic.com or for more information, call 405-632-1133.
