Not a hum-drum workout at In-Shape

Published 07/31/2008 - 11:01 a.m. PDT

In-Shape Health Clubs has just expanded its diverse lineup of fitness activities with the addition of Drums Alive! – a group class that provides an alternative to traditional aerobics. The new class is being offered twice at week at In-Shape Sports Club Antioch, located at 4099 Lone Tree Way.

Drums Alive! combines traditional aerobic movements with the powerful beat and rhythm of the drums. It utilizes a stability ball and drumsticks to create fun, high-energy dance and rhythm routines designed to burn fat and improve physical and mental fitness. Drums Alive! is a workout for the entire body as well as a powerful tool for stress reduction and mental balance.

“Our members love it!” said Director of Group Exercise Darlene Kidwell. “It’s a class that anyone can take, regardless of fitness level. Plus it’s a great workout that keeps members entertained for a full hour.”

Instructors are specially trained and offer guidance on the unique moves involved in the class. “It’s not hard to catch on at all!” said Jennifer DeRita, In-Shape’s Drums Alive instructor. “I offer small tips and ways to get more out of each workout, but most people jump right in and have a great time in their first class.”

“It was really important to us to offer something different,” said General Manager Rick Cruz. “We know people have a choice when they look to join a health club. We always want to be one step ahead of the competition.”

Drums Alive! is offered twice a week to members for no additional cost. Classes are held at 7:30 p.m. on Mondays and 8:30 a.m. on Wednesdays. Non-members can try the class by calling 925-331-3065 and requesting a guest pass.

In-Shape Health Clubs, founded in 1981, owns and operates 30 locations in California and is ranked in the top 20 health club companies in the United States. In-Shape’s Brentwood location is 180 Griffith Lane.
