Form Friday with Reann

This week, Reann is showing us how to properly perform a burpee — a full-body exercise that combines a squat, plank, push-up, and jump all in one movement. She also demonstrates modifications to help make the exercise work for every fitness level.

Reann teaches Cardio Pump, Pump, and Sweat & Shred at the Center, and her philosophy is simple: Life is a burpee. We all get knocked down, but it’s how we get back up that matters.

Stop by one of Reann’s classes this month, get a stamp on your challenge card, and give those burpees a try!

Staff Spotlight: Susan

If you’ve taken a Pump or Cardio Pump class at the Center, chances are you’ve experienced Susan’s incredible energy and passion firsthand!

Susan first started teaching at the Center of Clayton 30 years ago before returning in 2023. She loves the energy members bring to every class and especially enjoys those moments when everyone is moving together and feeling strong as a group.

After undergoing brain surgery 30 years ago, fitness became an important part of Susan’s life and inspired her to help others stay healthy through exercise. Outside of the Center, she’s a huge music fan who loves artists like Bruce Springsteen and The Rolling Stones — and her playlists always help keep the energy high in class.

Be sure to say hello to Susan and try one of her classes this month!

Find the balance that actually works for your goals.

Do you need more cardio? Not as much as you might think. More isn’t always better—especially when it comes to fat loss.

Here’s the truth: strength training builds muscle, boosts your metabolism, and supports long-term results far more effectively than cardio alone. The best approach isn’t choosing one—it’s combining strength and cardio intentionally.

Ready to train smarter, not longer? Build a balanced routine that works.
