The Fitness Experience at Lifestyle Camps:
Reach outside of your comfort zone, and try something new at our Lifestyle Camps. Our personal trainers and group exercise instructors offer a wide selection of exercise classes to help you discover activities that you will enjoy and will want to make a part of everyday life. From aquatic exercise classes, to nature walks, to basic strength training and yoga classes, you will be sure to discover your fitness passion.
Our classes are designed with the following goals in mind:
Weight Management: utilize both cardiovascular and strength training exercise to boost your metabolism for maximum caloric burn. Learn how to change the type, duration and intensity of exercise to avoid the common plateau and keep your goals on target.
Total Body Fitness: a fit body is a balanced body. Our classes focus on working muscles in proportion to one another, and developing all of the major components of fitness – cardiovascular, muscular strength, flexibility, and balance.
Decreased Pain: an active body allows for all cells of the body to receive increased circulation and nutrients. At DTC’s Lifestyle camps, you determine your own level of exertion, and work at your own pace. The opportunity to try a variety of exercise modalities will allow you to determine what works with you and your body
