Looking for Feedback!....Dance Program

2009-04-23T13:16:00.000-07:00

Hey BAC members!
Just a note from me, Caitlin....
I want to create a Dance Program/Dance Boot Camp (whatever you would call it), maybe once or twice a week for 2-4 weeks, where we would learn one dance to one song (it would be much more intricate than my Zumba dances)

Looking for feedback....what do you think??

New Muay Thai Program

2009-04-23T13:13:00.000-07:00

You will learn a sound foundation of punching, kicking, knee and elbow strikes in a non-contact class emphasizing correct technique and developing specific core strength, balance and explosiveness.

Our classes will cover the development of basic skills with proper form so that your punches and kicks have real power and that you don’t injure yourself. Thai pads and focus mitts will be held for you and the mechanics of each strike will be corrected.

We will warm up and stretch together as a group and incorporate core stability and power exercises into our routines. Drills will reinforce the retention of skills learned and improve muscular endurance and cardiovascular efficiency. As our course progresses the intensity will increase – we will start conditioning the same way professional fighters do.

Tuesdays and Thursdays 8-9:15pm beginning Tues May 12th
If you would like to get started sooner, please contact Jason
The cost for 12 sessions is $180
Please see the front desk to reserve your spot

For further information please call Jason at 617 543 9285

Rita Senier is an ACE Certified Personal Trainer, Schwinn Cycling Instructor, Group Fitness Instructor, business owner and mother of three. Rita is an avid runner and in 2006, ran and completed the Boston Marathon.

“Working at the BAC as a trainer is very exciting to me and I hope I can pass on my fitness knowledge, skills and experience not only to my clients but also to any member who may need some assistance. I have a great passion for fitness and how the human body reacts to exercise. I am looking forward to the many challenges ahead.” Her clients include stay at home moms, business professionals, students, cancer patients, athletic teams and the Braintree Fire Department.

Rita received her Exercise Science skills and schooling from Dr. Wayne Westcott, PhD. “It was truly a once in a lifetime experience to be taught personally by one of the most respected and knowledgeable fitness experts in the country.”

Rita's special focus is group training, especially women. Being 42 and the mother of three children is an accomplishment on its own. Getting back into shape on her own after each child is something she is proud of and also something she can pass along as inspiration to other women. With hard work, dedication and determination, goals can be achieved.

"Give me a fitness challenge, so I can challenge you back!"
