In addition to new fitness classes, a revamped spinning program and sports leagues, Cranmore has added new staff to both personal training and massage.

Members and non-members alike are invited to join Cranmore Family Fitness Center from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 18, for a complimentary sampling of fitness programs and workshops.New classes to the fall fitness schedule include Zumba, TKB and kids-'robics. Zumba is the infusion of Latin and international rhythms with a mix of fast and slow music that helps tone and sculpt. TKB, the total kickboxing workout, will be taught by returning instructor Lori Chandler beginning Oct. 15. This class has a strong beat and choreography that builds each class, making it a high intensity workout that even a newcomer can follow. Parents of 2-4 year olds can get moving with kids-'robics on Tuesday mornings from 10 to 11 a.m. In addition, winter conditioning classes return Oct. 14 with two new early morning sessions. This popular class runs Monday and Wednesday 6 to 7:30 a.m., Tuesday and Thursday 5:30 to 7 p.m., and Saturdays from 9 to 10:30 a.m.Cranmore Family Fitness Center is hosting three workshops run by Johnny G Spinning on Saturday, Nov. 1: heart rate training, the interval energy zone and race day training.
