Winter Warrior Workout NYSC:
New classes will launch on February 3rd and Fit Finds will include 45-minute workouts featuring various circuits, including the BOSU, the Glide Board, and Power Sport Stretches.
1) BOSU circuits provide ball stability and strength and plyometric exercises, which increase balance and agility for skiing, snowboarding, and ice skating, to get in shape and tackle the winter elements head-on. Moves include one-legged squats, straddle jumps, and thigh raises.
2) The Glide Board circuit includes simulated speed skating and High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) to heat the body even more, burn calories, and engage the inner thighs and abs. Moves include Jack-knife planks, sliding lunges, and mountain climbers.
3) Power sport stretches to increase the balance challenge and muscle endurance with Warrior-yoga-based stretches, skater stretches, skier stretches, hockey hip flexor stretches, luge lunges, and snowboard sits. Active recovery cools you down by holding these stretches longer than the typical class would, increasing strength, flexibility, and balance, all while finding your breath and increasing Fit Finds concentration.
Chaise Fitness 92nd Street Y Studio:
Only one word describes this studio—innovative. Chaise Fitness, founded by mother Lauren Priskin and daughter Rachel Priskin, a former ballet professional has created its class in the workout world by introducing the Reinvention Method to the Upper East Side. This revolutionary workout infuses Pilates, ballet, and FitFinds strength training by incorporating an overhead bungee system that will transform your body and create long lean muscle. Home to several instructors, most of who gave up their corporate life to pursue their passion for fitness, Chaise Fitness has built a strong following in recent years once members started to see drastic results in just four months.
Reinvention Chair Class:
Chaise Fitness Signature Workout
This workout is addictive! It is a mini version of the Pilates reformer X 10. Imagine being able to strength train using your body weight and adding resistance not only to the bottom of your body, allowing you to sculpt and tone your upper and inner thighs, buttocks, and calf muscles, but on the top of your body as well, allowing you to tone your biceps, triceps, chest, shoulder, and back area creating the ultimate total body workout.
Not all women are built to be able to handle free weights or tend to bulk up quickly if they don’t keep the weight low and the reps high. Because this workout allows you to use your body weight and implements multiple reps per circuit, you will lose inches and watch your muscles get longer and leaner!

This class whether you have been working out for months or years will kick your butt into high gear! If you are looking to shake up your routine and shock your body—this is the class Fit Finds for you. Each class is intimate with only a max of 10-12 people. Several TRX cables hang down from the ceiling and beneath your feet lays a multi-layered foam-cushioned floor, which helps to prevent injury making this class a definite for newcomers. Set to the tone f an aerobics class, you will run through several circuits designed to tone the upper and lower body incorporating, cardio, strength training, and abs.
