It's sweeping the nation! Actually, as far as I know, it is currently one-of-a-kind. I'm talking about a new kind of workout class, elliptifit. Think spinning class, but with brand new, very high-tech elliptical machines. I'm a sucker for any kind of group fitness class, (besides "boot camps") especially when there is a groupon deal! I actually found out about this place from my friend Rachna back at the beginning of the year and was on the lookout for deals every since. A few months ago I bought a deal for 5 classes for $35 and had been anticipating the end of my semester ever since.
I went last week for the first time, and without even texting her to let her know, Rachna was in the class! What a small world... The class is great, 45 minutes of cardio, mixing things up by concentrating on just your arms, just your core, just your lower body, and doing things like sprints/hills/etc. Rachna told me that each class is slightly different so you never get bored.
The studio is clean and elegantly designed with a nice industrial modern flair. The front and right sides of the room are lined with mirrors and there are 5 rows of ellipticals split into 3 per side (approx 30 total machines.) There are kinda cheesy lights around the front mirrors, which my instructor, Jill, changed based on the pace/portion of the class. I laughed to myself every time they changed, but it's a nice touch and shows that the owners really thought of everything!
After the class I was drenched with sweat and my legs were a little sore the next day. It's not a killer strength workout by any means, unless you bump up the ramp/resistance far past your comfort zone, but it is a great new cardio workout and really fun!
