DEEP TISSUE MASSAGE

HOT STONE MASSAGE
Hot stone massages ease tension, relax muscle stiffness and increases circulation and metabolism. The direct heat of the stones loosens muscles, allowing the therapist access to their deeper, tense layers. Combining hot stone protocols with a full body massage provides a very healing and effective experience.

A light randomly illuminates on one of the pads and the player strikes the pad within a time limit and then repeats.

Fit Interactive Heavy Ball
The concept of Heavy Ball is simple – grab the ball, throw it in the tube, pick it up, and repeat. But the real question is, how fast can you go? Compete against yourself, others or as a team for an exciting round for core engagement, reflex quickness, and leg strength. The Heavy Ball station is excellent for training lateral ability and squat form.
