Personal Training

Personal Training sessions are provided to assist clients who are working on equipment or with free

Tai Chi

While the ancient roots of Tai Chi Chuan (Grand Ultimate Fist) are in the martial arts, tai chi movements are never aggressive; instead, they are based on shifting body weight through a series of light, controlled movements that flow rhythmically together into one long, graceful gesture. In this introductory course, Dr. Tim Thompson will teach you how to combine flowing gestures with the healing tai chi technique of core breathing to express yourself through "meditation in motion.” Please join us for class on Fridays at 7:30 p.m.. Please see our registration form to register for this class.
