Saw Mill Club Offers Them All.

The American Council on Exercise (ACE) has published its top fitness trends for the upcoming year.

For the second year in a row, boot camp-style workouts are predicted to be the top fitness trend for 2009. Another trend? Getting more for the money, says ACE Chief Science Officer Cedric X. Bryant, PhD, in a news release. The overarching theme for fitness in 2009 is getting more bang for the buck.

Here’s the ACE’s top 5 trend rundown:

  1. Boot camp-style fitness programs.
  2. Workout plans that are less expensive. Saw Mill:  Small Group Training
  3. Specialty classes like Zumba, Bollywood, Afro-Cuban, and ballroom dancing. These classes are set to rhythmic music and aim to increase cardiovascular fitness while folks have fun.
  4. Circuit training. Circuit training blends strength training and cardiovascular activity at different intensities. SMC is home to TechnoGym SmartKey.
  5. Event or sports-specific exercises. A focus on the simple things, like basketball or volleyball games, or day bike rides. SMC Kinesis is designed for functional movements.
