All SNFFC, Inc. classes are professionally taught and structured to include the following modes of training. Classes are adaptable to any fitness level from beginner to advanced participants.
STRENGTH TRAINING
​
​​Strengt​h training is the use of resistance to induce muscular contraction in an effort to build strength, endurance, and the size of skeletal muscles.
​
Strength training can provide significant functional benefits and improvement in overall health and well-being, including increased bone, muscle, tendon and ligament strength and toughness, improved joint function, reduced potential for injury, increased bone density, increased metabolism, improved cardiac function, and elevated HDL (good) cholesterol.
Sports where strength training is central include: powerlifting, bodybuilding, and weightlifting. Other sports use strength training as part of their training regimen, notably football, wrestling, track and field, rowing, and basketball. Strength training for other sports and physical activities is becoming increasingly popular.
​
CARDIO TRAINING
​​​
​​Aerobic exercise (also known as cardio) is physical exercise of relatively low intensity that depends primarily on the aerobic energy-generating process. Aerobic literally means "living in air," and refers to the use of oxygen to adequately meet energy demands during exercise via aerobic metabolism. Generally, light-to-moderate intensity activities that are sufficiently supported by aerobic metabolism can be performed for extended periods of time.
​
When practiced in this way, examples of cardiovascular/aerobic exercise are medium to long distance running/jogging, swimming, cycling, and walking, according to the first extensive research on aerobic exercise, conducted in the 1960s on over 5,000 U.S. Air Force personnel by Dr. Kenneth H. Cooper.
​
FULL BODY TRAINING
​
Full Body training combines the best of both Strength training and Cardio training. Based in the primary elements of fitness, this training mode allows participants to build and improve flexibility, increase endurance, muscle strength, and cardiovascular capacity.
​
​Full Body training, as practiced in a group exercise setting encourages core strength, balance, and coordination. An added bonus to full body training, because of the amount of muscle used and the aerobic component, is increased fat burning.
​
Full body training, as the name implies, is a top-to-toe workout. Sports where full body training is central inclde: running, walking, hiking, rowing, cycling, tennis, basketball, swimming, and weightlifting.
