Program Details & Frequently Asked Questions
What can I expect?
Participants will meet at Oz Park. Arrive to class in your workout clothes. If you are coming from work and have personal belongings, you will have a secure place to store them for the duration of class.

Arrive early to insure you are ready to go at 6:30pm. Coach Vanessa will lead you through a 5-minute warm-up and give you an overview of the day’s workout goal. Coach will keep things lively by integrating push-ups, squats, lunges and other strength builders, including old school calisthenic drills designed to build cardiovascular endurance.

How is FUNctional Fitness class different than Bootcamp class?
FUNctional Fitness class is a beginner-intermediate class and starts in the park. Some running or jogging will be included, and exercises are at an intermediate level. Bootcamp is an advanced class and participants will be required to run 2-3 miles, including running to the park.
