Saturday’s Fit Frenzy offers free sampling of classes

COOKEVILLE — Who doesn’t love free samples?

That’s what Fit Frenzy attendees will get Jan. 15 at Cane Creek Recreation Center. The free event offers a chance to try a variety of group fitness classes every half hour in an upbeat, beginner-
friendly atmosphere between 8:30 and 11 a.m. Door prizes will be given away in each class.

“This is a great event to get everyone excited about group fitness, fresh starts and having fun,” Jen Webb, Leisure Services special programs coordinator, said. “We have heard so many times that Fit Frenzy is what brought someone to Leisure Services Fitness or Fit Frenzy is where they tried their favorite class for the first time.”

Offerings include yoga, strength training, spin, boot camp, club cardio and a new class — Totally
Tabata Tuesday, or T3.

“During T3, people will get in a cardio workout as well as some strength moves,” instructor Sally Herren, Leisure Services recreation programmer, said of the 30-minute class, which is now offered on Tuesdays at 9 a.m. “Since it is a shorter class, we do several combo moves to hit as many major muscle groups as possible and get your heart rate up.”

Fitness classes are offered daily at Cane Creek Recreation Center, 180 CC Camp Road, and participants may drop in any time for $3 per class unless otherwise posted. See the monthly schedule at www.cookeville-tn.gov/ls.

Fit Cards are available for $30 (11 classes for the price of 10), but during Fit Frenzy, a special buy-one-get-one-half-price rate is being offered — 22 classes for $45. Webb looks forward to a day of fun and new beginnings.

“The purpose of Fit Frenzy is to encourage new people to come out and try a variety of exercise classes in an environment that is very beginner-friendly and not too time-consuming,” she said.

“For our regular attendees, it’s an opportunity to try something different.”
