Unique Outdoor Fitness Conditioning Classes for Men & Women

Release Form

Why Outdoors?

• Living in Steamboat, we cherish our time outside, especially during the summer months.  The Outdoor Fitness Experience is the perfect way to get a challenging, total body workout and still enjoy the outdoors.

• Taking your exercise outdoors means that each workout becomes an adventure, a chance to observe nature, and an opportunity to rejuvenate your spirit.

• Outdoor workouts bring you back to basics aerobic breath, motion, natural environment.  It is a time to challenge your body & mind and discover a sense of well-being.

• Additionally, the Outdoor Fitness Experience offers you a refreshing break from loud music, artificial lighting, whirring machines, and blinking televisions.  Give your senses a rest from all the electronic input!

Where Do Classes Meet?

• Classes are held at a different scenic location each time.  We meet at public parks, trails, mountains, creek side and even lakeshore areas.

• Individual sessions are scheduled throughout the day.  Most classes meet early in the morning.  By doing so, we avoid crowds, beat the late day heat, keep your afternoons free to fulfill other commitments, and get a perfect start to the day.

Fun, Fitness and Fresh Air!

All equipment is provided.

What's In A Workout?

Every Outdoor Fitness Experience session is different!  Although no two workouts are exactly the same, every 75-minute class is a total body workout including:

• warm up/joint lubrication

• cardio/aerobic conditioning

• strength training/toning

• balance & agility exercises

• flexibility training/stretching

• mental focus exercise

On any given day, the workout may include such elements as running or walking, calisthenics, plyometrics, stairs, resistance training with hand weights or rubber tubing, athletic drills, and/or movements similar to those found in yoga or Pilates.

These workouts are fun and challenging.  You will work at your own level, whether you are already very fit or are just beginning your fitness quest.  Class size is limited, so you will always receive individual attention.

• Please arrive on time and ready to go.

• Please arrive hydrated; it takes 30-60 minutes for your body to absorb water; and keep a bottle of water in your car to either bring to the workout or to have immediately following.

• Wear good trail running shoes and layers of clothingAll classes will be conducted no matter what the weather is!

• Walk or run on the LEFT side of the road, facing traffic.  Do not assume drivers can see you, particularly at sunrise & sunset when the sun's rays are blinding.

• Bicycle on the RIGHT side of the road, with the flow of traffic.  Obey traffic signals.  Yield to pedestrians.  Use hand signals to alert drivers when you are turning.  Wear a helmet!

• Wear visible colors; red, yellow, orange.  This is especially important on rurl roads where cyclists and pedestrians are not as common, where there is no sidewalk or shoulder, and when you are in rural areas during hunting season.

• Wear reflective gear if you are out before sunrise or after sunset.

• Do NOT wear headphones.  You need to be able to hear what is going on around you.

• Let someone know where you are going and approximately how long you expect to be gone. 

• Carry identification and change to make a phone call.  Carry your cell phone if you own one.

• Be prepared with extra food or money to buy a snack in case you are out longer than anticipated and need extra energy to get home.
