Get excited, YMCA! Beginning in June, the YMCA of Central KY will offer Les Mills BODYPUMP™ and Les Mills CORE™ classes. Like the hundreds of other group exercise classes included in YMCA of Central KY membership, these are offered completely free to members of the Y.
BODYPUMP™ is a scientifically-backed barbell workout using light to moderate weights and high numbers of repetitions to build strength and muscular endurance. Participants who attend classes regularly can expect to see strengthened muscles, improved bone health, improved core strength, and an increase in overall fitness.
CORE™ is an intense core workout for functional fitness. It's scientifically designed to build strength, stability, and endurance in the muscles that support your core, including the abs, glutes, and back.
The classes, choreographed and set to high-energy, motivating music, are taught by highly trained Les Mills-certified instructors. New releases drop quarterly, with fresh choreography and new ways to challenge yourself in class, simultaneously encouraging progress and staving off boredom. Les Mills classes are great for all ages and abilities, and the instructor will demonstrate modifications for all moves.
As we launch the program, Les Mills BODYPUMP™ will be offered at the C.M. Gatton Beaumont YMCA and Whitaker Family YMCA; Les Mills CORE™ will be available at the C.M. Gatton Beaumont YMCA. Check the schedules online here or in your mobile app any time for the most current group exercise schedules.
We are excited to bring these new group exercise formats to our Y community, increasing the overall options our members have, and especially classes with a focus on building and maintaining strength. When you try one of these classes, let us know! Post on social media and tag us @ ymcaofcentralkentucky, or shoot us an email at marketing@ymcacky.org and let us know your thoughts, how you're getting stronger, or how Les Mills classes challenged you. We're rooting for you!
