Why dance?
​Why WIMBERLEAN?
What makes this class different?

​Did you know? In 2003, research published in the New England Journal of Medicine found that regular dancing reduced the risk of dementia and Alzheimers by 76%, twice as much as reading. Doing crossword puzzles at least four days a week reduced the risk by 47%, while cycling and swimming offered no benefit at all. But, not all forms of dancing offer the same cognitive benefits. 

​Jason Wimberly has been the creative force behind dozens of group fitness classes for numerous fitness brands. He has created unique and innovative class formats that are known for delivering real results.

Diving deep in his repertoire of coaching skills, his signature class WIMBERLEAN is a gleaming representation of everything Wimberly has learned as a lifelong Movement Enthusiast and Physical Culturist.

The newest class format is more dance focused than ever, drawing upon Luigi jazz dance technique as our strength training foundation.

​The WIMBERLEAN method draws inspiration from many historical influences and pulls from other movement methods, while referencing current scientific understandings of the human body to deliver a full mind and body workout experience. 

While WIMBERLEAN is open to all who wish to attend and no dance experience is necessary, a basic understanding of how to count music, and/or a history in dance training is ideal. 

Class is perfect for those looking to return to dance who are looking for a way to build foundational strength while learning classic dance technique.

What makes WIMBERLEAN unique?

• Move in unison to the rhythm
• Dedicated focus to joint and foot health
• Signature core conditioning and strength training without weights

​
Each class has a different focus while still following a similar format of a 50 minute warm-up, before moving across the floor and center combinations. Exercises focus on bettering your balance, increasing your mobility, and strengthening your whole body with an emphasis on joint and foot health. Many dance classes today often rush through the fundamentals to focus on choreography, while WIMBERLEAN focuses on strength building exercises using your own bodyweight as resistance. Nothing is ever done once, which allows for greater muscle activation and real-time corrections.

Expert cueing, dynamic movement, and out of this world energy making WIMBERLEAN more than a workout. It is the ultimate investment in yourself and your new favorite workout.

What to expect?

Expect to stretch, jump, laugh, kick, sweat, spin, and feel the burn. Break down simple dance steps before putting them together in complex combinations. This class is very challenging in many ways, and will serve as a reminder that you are capable of doing hard things.

What is expected?

Have fun and be open to new things. This is not an audition and one is judging you. We all come to class to learn, to fail, and to be in a safe space to try things we have maybe never tried before. Being able to move your body is a privilege, start acting accordingly.
