Day after day, classes in mat Pilates, Pilates Reformer and yoga (beginning and intermediate), circuit training (coed and women-only), group cycling and tai chi jostle for time in each of five studios with six varieties of step (regular, "interval," "elite," "maximal," "creative" and "revolution"). Additionally, members can choose from a variety of cardiovascular-exercise classes such as "Sculpt in 4 Weeks," "Extreme Body Makeover," "Body Blast," "Amazing Abs," "Cardio Core," "Cardio Funk," "Cardio Explosion," "Below the Belt," "S-T-R-E-T-C-H" and "Total Kickboxing." For the younger set, there are classes called "BabyRobics" and "Kids Super Fitness," while for members who just don't feel the restorative power of plain old yoga, there's "Restorative Yoga" (Fridays at 6:30 p.m., just after the "Yoga Power Hour").
