About Strava

Record an activity and it goes to your Strava feed, where your friends and followers can share their own races and workouts, give kudos to great performances and leave comments on each other’s activities. Strava syncs with most devices – your phone, GPS watch or head unit, heart rate monitor, or power meter. All kinds of groups form clubs on Strava to organize activities and build communities – friends, teams, brands, gear shops and more. When you join our Stanford Recreation and Wellness Strava, your performance will be shared with the community! Here is how!

Important notes

  • We encourage all participants to practice physical distancing while exercising at this time.
  • Please ensure you are choosing activities that are appropriate for your level of fitness.
  • If you’re not sure, consult a medical professional.
  • Listen to your body and do what’s best for your body each day.

Class Descriptions

305 Fitness Cardio Dance

 305 Fitness is an addictive dance cardio party set to a DJ mix of pop and hip hop music. Forget the fancy footwork—the focus is on high-energy, fun, full-body moves, so you can get you heart rate up and release endorphins. A ten minute strength-training segment will leave you feeling empowered. This workout invites everyone to express themselves, free of judgment!

Bootcamp

Bring enthusiasm, effort, and a positive mindset to this class.  Every class varies but will always offer a total body workout through circuit training, HIIT (High-Intensity Interval Training), bodyweight exercises, resistance training, plyometrics, and more.  Classes are often “Team” based and all fitness levels are welcome.

Barre Sculpt

This class works all muscle groups in 50 minutes. Using barre-inspired exercises you will strengthen and lengthen your muscles, increase your flexibility, and improve your balance. Please bring a yoga mat to class.

Power Yoga

This is a powerful, energetic form of yoga where students move fluidly from one posture to the next while connecting their breath to their movements.  It incorporates strength, flexibility, balance, and both physical and mental stamina.  The class is open to all levels offering modifications and the opportunity to try on inversions.

Strength Bootcamp

Bring enthusiasm, effort, and a positive mindset to this class.  Every class varies but will always offer a total body workout through circuit training, HIIT (High-Intensity Interval Training), bodyweight exercises, resistance training, and plyometrics with a focus on strength.  All fitness levels are welcome to attend.

Yoga 101

This class focuses on connecting breath to movement, building heat, strength and flexibility, with a focus on learning the movements and sequencing of movements for future practices.
