One of the hottest and most effective fitness techniques is Kinesis Movement Training at the Verandah Club.

From the article:

"Kinesis training, which originated in Italy, is 'group personal training combining the benefits of pilates, yoga, core and extremity strength training,' says Cara Young, health club manager at the Verandah Club.

Rather than training one muscle group in isolation, kinesis trains muscles in integrated groups to work together."

Students burn an additional 30% more calories in a 30 minute workout with Kinesis.
