Fitness & Movement

Hello NECC Fitness Community,


As we step into the fall season, I wanted to share some of our evening group fitness options! I've had the pleasure of attending HIIT Reset and Warrior Rhythm recently, and wanted to share with y'all why they are amazing!


Also, members, don't forget you have 12 guest passes per calendar year. Try a new class and bring a friend!


- Alissa Hartman, Fitness & Movement Manager

HIIT Reset with Myles


HIIT Reset is fast, fun, highly modifiable, and has just the right amount of challenge, and the music is great. Myles is super encouraging, and the time flies by. The first 30 minutes of the class is HIIT (high intensity interval training) and then you get the opportunity to really stretch and lengthen over a 20-minute restorative session. It is the perfect balance. I can't wait for folks to try it out!


HIIT Reset with Instructor Myles. Mondays & Wednesdays, 7-7:50pm.

Warrior Rhythm with Heidi


Warrior Rhythm's music is amazing, and you'll have so much fun you won't want class to end. Warrior Rhythm has sets of HIIT training, body awareness, breath and posture, strength training with weights, and gorgeous yoga-inspired dance flows.


This class practices together and builds a series of sets for over a month, so you really get to connect with the choreography. Heidi is so approachable and encouraging, and you will probably find yourself laughing, sweating, and gaining strong ground. Please check the schedule and give this gem a try!



Warrior Rhythm with Heidi. Mondays & Wednesdays, 5-5:55pm.
