A 30-Minute workout for Women and Men
Would you like to have fun, burn calories, tone your muscles, and develop solid core strength? Our new Hard-Core Fitness class will get you these results and more. The exercises are doable and achievable. We have modifications that you can begin with for every exercise. Put on your workout attire and come in to give this exciting new fitness class a try!
What is Hard-Core Fitness? This is complete fitness program that is designed for people on-the-go who have little time for the gym but enjoy the motivation of like-minded people interested in getting fit and staying fit in a friendly non-threatening way.
Each class is broken up into 5 distinct segments: Warm-up, upper body, lower body, combined upper and lower (core), and cool down.
All the exercises are based around developing a solid, “hard” core. Each exercise can be effectively modified to meet the needs or challenges of everyone who participates; from the “exercise newbie” to the “exercise junkie”…
What it’s not!
— A martial art program.
— A partner based program.
— A no-pain… no-gain program.
Why only 30-minutes? In today’s fast paced culture people value time about as much as currency. Remember… Hard-Core Fitness is designed and intended for people who are on-the-go and don’t have the luxury of spending one to two hours at the gym.
According to the American College of Sports Medicine, as little as two 30-minute sessions of vigorous exercise each week lowers or reduces the risk of the following:
- heart disease by 40%
- stroke by 27%
- type II diabetes by 50%
- high blood pressure by 40%
- certain cancers by up to 60%
- developing Alzheimer’s by up to 40%
Our program will give you the lift you need without exhausting you. By taking our 30-minute classes, you will start to notice improvements in your mind and body without taking up too much of your valuable “free” time. Come join us and take your health into your own hands!
”I work full time and have a family so its hard to find time to go to a gym. At only 30 minutes, Hard-Core Fitness is a great workout – I felt stronger after the first class! These classes have become a catalyst for healthier habits like getting more sleep and cutting out junk food.” ~Sara
“Pecoraro’s Hard-Core Fitness class has helped me kick start my training. I’m training for my first triathlon in quite a few years and the Hard-Core class is great because it hits all the major muscle groups. The other major benifit to me is that enough classes are offered that I can always find one to fit my schedule. I really appreciate that John is always offering advice about how to modify the exercises so they will fit my needs. It’s amazing to me that the same class can fit college students as well as folks in their 70s. Thanks!!!” ~Brian P.
“I work a full time job and had found it hard to find the time for exercise. The HCF is only 30 minutes, two days a week, but has really made a difference. You leave class feeling strong, healthy, and refreshed. John, the instructor, teaches us to listen to our bodies, It is like having your own person trainer for a fraction of the price.” ~Nicole
“The instructor gives you alternatives to every exercise making the class suitable for participants at any level. I am going on my sixth week and have more energy and use the drills we learn during class in my daily life.(Example: remember to bend my knees when lifting) Awesome instructor who is very helpful!!!”
~Brina
“I feel so much better for the experience HCF has given me. I’ve lost almost 25 pounds in less than 90 days and more than 3 points reduced on my BMI! I love the 30-minute workouts that change every day as well as the great group motivation and the personal touch and attention of the instructor/coach.” ~Crystal
“Get fit in just 30 minutes a day! What a concept! But I am proof that it is possible. Since starting Hard-Core Fitness last June I have lost 14 pounds and countless inches. This loss is due to a fun, challenging exercise program not to a restrictive “diet”, where weight comes back as soon as the diet stops. I just follow John’s original 5 fitness tips, exercise in class and discovered a different me in the mirror. I am stronger now than I have ever been and feel better than I have in a long time. Thank you John for creating HCF and for offering it 15 times a week so we all can fit it into our schedules. ” ~Laurie
“I’m a 63 year old man, recently retired and I’d been feeling sluggish, tired and out of shape. I started attending Hard Core Fitness classes about 3 – 4 times a week and have really noticed a difference in my energy and sleeping, and am gradually regaining my strength and stamina. John varies the classes to keep them interesting and challenging. They’re only 30 minutes, so it’s easy to fit them in, even when I’m not feeling particularly motivated. I’m enjoying being more active and meeting new people.” ~Tom
“I have been working out at Pecoraro’s Martial Arts and I have never felt better. In the time I have been there I have slimmed down and lost almost 3 1/2 inches off my belly and I feel great! I have more energy and more confidence. Plus I get to learn a little self defense. Just a simple 30 minute workout 3 days a week is all it takes.” ~Zack
