   "EMOM" or Every Minute on the Minute is a bodyweight conditioning class looking to improve both muscular strength and aerobic fitness. There will be a variety of stations consisting of different bodyweight exercises or aerobic conditioning drills. Each participant will approach each station with the goal of trying to do as many repetitions of the exercise with good form within that minute. At the conclusion of that exercise bout each participant will have a short recovery before going directly into the next drill. Each participant is encouraged to put forth as much effort as they wish. The goal of the class is to put forth a hard effort for the duration for thirty minutes; the intensity of that effort is controlled by the individual (breaks are allowed!!!) Just remember, what doesn't challenge us will not change us!
