Aerobic Fitness, Inc. has been teaching fitness classes since 1902! No, not really. The truth is Tracey Hill plunged into Aerobic Fitness at the beginning of the fitness revolution in 1980. What began with one little class at the Lawrenceville Recreation Center quickly exploded into 18 different locations in Gwinnett, Fulton, Dekalb and Cherokee Counties with 15 instructors. We taught choreographed Aerobic Dance classes with our motto being “Dance To Your Heart’s Delight.” In addition to Aerobic Dance, along the way we have taught Maternity & Recovery Aerobics, Dance Step Aerobics, Fit Kids, Punch & Crunch, Fit Over 50 and Zumba as well as Personal Training. We witnessed the birth of the first aerobic shoe (Reebok Princess), the come and go of leotards as exercise apparel and the extinction of routines played on cassette tapes!
Today we have downsized with one ideal location – Wills Park Recreation Center in Alpharetta with three enthusiastic regular instructors (Tracey, Lee & Diane. What originally started as strictly high impact aerobic dance classes in 1980 has morphed into an all encompassing program incorporating Step, Pilates, Yoga & Weight Training today.
Aerobic Fitness classes have the best of everything to create a total (I mean total) body workout. We start with 30 minutes of heart healthy cardio on the almighty step where joint-saving low impact routines are choreographed to all sorts of lively motivating music. The next 30 minutes blend a wide variety of Pilates, yoga and weight training exercises to develop balance, strength and flexibility by thoroughly working the body from head to toe, right to left and upside down. Then for the grand finale we end with much needed relaxation exercises.
Our goal is to help improve the quality and quantity of our students’ lives through the endless health benefits of consistent comprehensive exercise in a welcoming environment and to have FUN while doing it!
