At the Lighthouse District's newest fitness center, Velocity Performance Training, located at 828 Lighthouse Avenue, you don't see rows of cardio equipment like you do at most gyms. We use a much more effective (and a lot more fun) way to do "cardio". Our VPT Metabolic group sessions are our version of a cardio workout. They burn calories, get your metabolism revving and give you the cardiovascular benefits you're looking for.

In the research, interval cardio training has been shown to be the most effective for fat loss. We've taken it up a notch and incorporated exercises in multiple planes of motion, using all kinds of equipment such as TRX, kettle bells, ropes, sand bags, medicine balls, and more into an interval-style workout. You'll have a blast and you'll torch fat.

For more information, please phone Velocity Performance Training at 831-601-6529.

Prime Monterey is pleased to announce two new classes led by instructor Mia Hurst, a gifted yoga teacher whose attitude is uplifting and whose cues are easy to apply. Bring a water bottle - shoes and mat are optional.

PRANA YOGA
Tuesdays, 12pm

Regular Prana Yoga practice is a powerful therapeutic tool for healing the physical and mental body. It slows the aging process and keeps you open sexually; it creates strength, flexibility and muscle tone; it improves posture, and it will increase your sense of grace and overall well being.

MAT PILATES
Thursdays, 12pm

Pilates develops alignment, breathing, and a strong core and improves coordination and balance. The mat exercises are the foundation for the entire system. Mia allows for all exercises to be modified according to your level.

To register and for more information, please phone Prime Master Trainers Jolie at 831-809-2571 or Jen at 831-224-7119.
