FAQ

What are some unique features of an Essentrics class?

• Essentrics is a simultaneous stretching and strengthening workout for the full body. Set to music, it strengthens the muscles in a lengthened (eccentric) position using the body as resistance. In addition to improving flexibility and building strength, Essentrics places much emphasis on posture, reflexes, and balance.

What can I expect at my first session?

• If you've never taken an Essentrics™ class before, you may find that you're working out muscles in a completely new way. While some of the moves or positions may be familiar to you, Essentrics™ adds its own innovative and effective twists that result in a most unique experience. After a class, people often report feeling very energized, stretched out, and relieved of chronic pain.

What kind of results can I expect with Essentrics?

• Regular, repeated practice of Essentrics benefits the body in many ways. Essentrics emphasizes contracting muscles in a lengthened position, which both strengthens and stretches, leading a toned, sleek look. It firms the body from head to toe, and its unique flowing movements are designed to simultaneously slenderize and tone the abs, waist, thighs, arms, and back while improving flexibility, range of motion, and posture. It also aids in relieving chronic pain caused by repetitive motion or injury.
