one class.
Every exercise in a SASS class can be done three ways. Each person works in the position that fits their body today, and the whole room moves through the circuit together.
01
seated
Cardio and strength from the support of a chair. A safe, confident place to start or to rest without leaving the workout.
02
assisted
Standing work with a hand on the chair for balance. More challenge for legs, core and coordination, with support right there.
03
standing
Full functional movement that builds strength, balance and coordination for the things clients do every day.
Nobody sits out. Nobody gets left behind.
