questions about any of our classes contact Dan Guthrie, Program Supervisor, at 513-745-6261 or dguthrie@blueash.com.
Beginner Level classes are suitable for anyone at any fitness level but specifically
B targets participants searching for a low impact, slower paced class. Expect basic choreography and moderate intensity.
Intermediate Level classes are suitable for anyone though may require modifications for some participants. Expect a focus on I
coordination and control of your body, more complex choreography, and a faster tempo.
A
Advanced Level classes are suitable for those with an athletic background or who are experienced with group fitness classes. Exercises may always be modified but will be presented at a very challenging level.
Individual Class Instructor information and level information can be obtained online at www.blueash.com on our Fitness & Wellness page.

ASHRECREATION
RECREATION
BASIC GROUP FITNESS CLASSES
Zumba Gold B
Zumba Gold combines all the elements of a normal Zumba class and brings them to the active older adult, the beginner participant, and other
special populations that may need modifications for success. It emphasizes the basics which makes it easy to follow for people of any age.
Zumba I
Zumba fuses Latin and international music and dance themes together for a great, dynamic, and effective fitness class. The routines combine fast
and slow rhythms that tone, sculpt, and inspire!
Zumba Toning I
Zumba Toning combines targeted body-sculpting exercises and high-energy cardio work with Latin-infused Zumba moves to create a
calorie-torching, strength-training dance fitness party.
Just Fit B
Combine fun with fitness in this 30-minute exercise class that is great for the active older adult, beginner, or anyone searching for a class that is
low impact and suitable for all ages and fitness levels. Instructors will emphasize basic movements for daily living that will increase flexibility,
range of motion, muscular strength, and cardiovascular fitness.
Synrgy 360 B
Learn how to maximize the benefits you can get by working out on the Synrgy360 unit (the large red structure in the fitness center) by attending
this circuit style group fitness class. Taught to the level of the participants and open to all ages and ability levels.
Hoop Dance & Yoga B I
Hooping tones the core and every class will start with yoga to further the core strengthening and flexibility components. Hoops are used to
practice yoga, followed by play time with hooping skills. Loaner hoops are available or you can bring your own.
ABSolutely Core I
30 minutes of gut blasting core work! ABSolutely Core combines a little cardio with a lot of core work to help you attain your body sculpting
goals. Whether you are aiming for a six pack or just want to firm your middle, this class is great for anyone wanting to get in better shape.
Cardio Core I A
This 45-60 minute cardio session will help you trim excess fat and give you the mid-section you’ve always wanted. Emphasis will be placed on
strengthening and toning the abdomen, butt, hips and lower back.
Circuit Training I A
A cardio, strength, and flexibility class focused on providing participants with a balanced total body approach to fitness. This class is a great way
to break up the monotony of your “normal routine” and learn new exercises in a group atmosphere.
Power & Endurance (PE) I A
A complete and functional approach to fitness focusing on attaining peak physical fitness for your age and ability level. Exercises emphasize total
body training.
Sports Conditioning I A
This total body workout provides a high intensity approach, and still maintains a “work at your own pace” attitude. Perfect for participants who
enjoy athletic conditioning based workouts. Exercises such as sprints, jump rope and agility drills are common and can always be modified.
PREMIUM GROUP FITNESS CLASSES
Hatha Yoga B I
Hatha Yoga takes a minimalist approach to burning calories, contracting muscles and stressing the body’s cardiovascular system while
encouraging concentration on subtle energy flows that fosters an inner awareness of body position. It centers on static postures and fluid
motions, emphasizes controlled breathing that draws attention inward and low-impact drills meant to strengthen body and mind.
Indoor Group Cycling B I A
A 50-minute indoor cycling class focusing on cardio challenges, hill climbs with varying speeds and resistance for all participant levels. Classes
taught by spinning certified instructors.
Tai Chi B I A
Tai Chi is made up of slow movements and breathing exercises. Designed to allow chi, or energy, to flow freely throughout the body. Tai Chi will
improve balance, health, awareness, agility, and coordination.
TRX Classes B I A
TRX training is a type of training that uses your own body weight and gravity to build strength, flexibility, balance, mobility, core and joint
stability, all while preventing injuries. The best part is all ability levels and ages can train on the TRX suspension trainer and achieve great
results.
Pilates I
Taken directly from Joseph Pilates’ training methods, Pilates exercises focus on the core postural muscles that keep the body balanced and
support the spine. Pilates teaches awareness of breath and purposeful, concentrated movement in order to strengthen deep torso muscles and
“re-educate” the body to move in its most efficient way.

FREE FITNESS ORIENTATIONS
This 45 to 60 minute session is designed to introduce you to our equipment and the basic components of exercise. It will include a personal
workout card that our fitness staff will note seat heights and other information for your future use. Orientations are given by appointment only.
To schedule an orientation call or email Andrew Falk, Facility Manager at (513) 745-6262 or afalk@blueash.com. New members are encouraged
to take advantage of this FREE service. Please note that anyone under the age of 16 is required to complete an orientation before using the
fitness center.
PERSONAL TRAINING
One of our nationally certified personal trainers will design a specialized program and work one on one with you to help you attain your
personal goals. First, you will need to schedule an initial consultation. The consultation consists of a meeting in which we will establish your
fitness goals, and take you through a series of assessments (wear workout clothes). Before your first “hands on” training session your personal
trainer will use the information acquired during the initial consultation to design a program for you. The number of training sessions you
purchase is dependent on your needs. Individual trainer information and fees can be found below. Please directly contact the trainer best suited
for your needs to set up an appointment. For general information contact the Facility Manager, Andrew Falk at (513) 745-6262.
GROUP TRAINING
Interested in something a little more affordable than personal training and more personalized than a group fitness class? Our trainers have
specific hourly rates for training individually as well as with groups, but if you have 3 or more people and are interested in committing to a
longer time frame (typically between 4 and 8 weeks) then we offer more affordable individual rates for group sessions. Rates may vary slightly
depending upon the type of session that is being offered (Yoga, TRX, Cycling, Kettlebell, General Boot Camp, etc). If you would like to create
your own group training class with 3 or more of your friends, feel free to contact any of our trainers directly.

detail.
During session 1 we will soak in the warm colors of the sun as we draw a radiating sun face.
During session 2 we will be careful not to get tangled up in our patterned spider web!
