Small Group Training - NEW & IMPROVED!
Small group training is a great option for those seeking high quality training, a motivating group
to be part of, and a less expensive option than one-on-one personal training. Sessions are led by
a Certified Personal Trainer who will provide motivation, accountability, program design, and
safety modifications for each member of the group. Participants must submit a completed
participant packet at time of registration and prior to training.

MUSCLE OF THE MONTH: SEPTEMBER
Glutes
Stuff you might not know . . .
-
The Gluteus Maximus is one of the largest and strongest muscles in the body. It originates along the pelvic bone crests and attaches to the rear of the femur.
-
The Gluteus Medius and Minimus lie directly underneath the Gluteus Maximus and originate in the same spot as the Maximus but attach to the side of the femur.
-
The Iliotibial Band (not shown) is made only of connective tissue. This band serves to transfer the force of abduction (moving the leg away from the centerline of the body) to the leg.
The Best Ways to Work the Hamstrings:
Squats
Lunges
Leg press
Abductions
Deadlift (advanced)
Glutes Training Tips:
Muscle imbalance between your quadriceps and hamstrings can cause your tailbone to tuck in and flatten your lower back, placing unnecessary stress on the lower back and discs.
When performing compound lower body exercises, such as a squat or lunge, you’ll work your quadriceps and glutes in addition to your hamstrings.
