As seen on TV, Essentrics®, (aka Classical Stretch) is a functional fitness class designed to address the needs of your full body through strength and mobility while being respectful to its natural limitations.  Created by former professional ballet dancer Miranda Esmonde-White, it became a go to program for athletes to enhance their performance, and later developed into the highly acclaimed 20-year running fitness television show, Classical Stretch®, for the PBS network. No matter whether you’re age 25 or 60+, the science behind what your body requires to stay youthful doesn’t change. To feel strong, healthy, vibrant and pain free, your workout should help you to build strength and mobility while being respectful to the natural limitations of your musculoskeletal system. Your own personal muscle flexibility and the capacity of your joints, tendons and ligaments to withstand impact, positions or twists are important factors to consider when taking on a fitness class or activity. If they are ignored, you can be left with pain and injury.

Essentrics workouts are meant to carry your body through its lifespan. There are few, if any, interesting and effective workouts that speak to the needs of a 21st century human body. No matter your age, you should have healthy joints, healthy connective tissue, healthy muscles, and should be fully mobile and strong.
