Titan Fitness & Martial Arts is proud to announce its new schedule for the Fall 2009 semester. The fall schedule goes into effect on Monday, August 24 for existing students with beginning classes to start the week of August 31.
Introductory free lessons for new students will get underway during the week of August 17 and will continue throughout the months of August, September, and into the early part of October. Free lessons can be scheduled by calling the gym at 814/235-1015 or emailing us at info@titanfitness.com.
The following is a list of changes that have been made to the Fall 2009 schedule.
1. The youth martial arts classes will meet from 6 PM to 7 PM on Mondays and Wednesdays starting on Wednesday, September 9.
2. An intermediate mixed martial arts class will meet on Tuesdays and Wednesdays from 6:30 to 8:00 and will serve as a preparatory class for the advanced mixed martial arts. All students who have completed the beginners MMA and Thai boxing beginners class qualify for this section.
3. Speaking of the advanced MMA class, it will move to the Monday and Wednesday 4:30 to 6 PM time slot to accommodate the new youth class schedule.
4. There will not be a no-gi grappling program due to the fact that we are including the grappling into all sections of the mixed martial arts programs.
5. Due to the exclusion of the no-gi grappling class, the vacated time slot is now being made available for sororities to have their own sections for women’s kickboxing. Special rates will be available on a per student basis for the sorority women’s kickboxing. Interested sororities should contact us as soon as possible as these slots are limited.
6. The Filipino martial arts class will be moved to 5 PM to 6:30 PM.
The present women’s kickboxing and boxing sections will remain the same for the fall semester.
If you have questions about the new schedule, call or email us. We look forward to a great fall semester will our new and present students. Enjoy the rest of the summer. See you all very soon.
If you’ve seen the movie ‘300’ then you’ve seen what it’s like to be as close as you can to peak physical fitness.
Gerard Butler, the star of the film, was required to train at a professional athlete’s level to get in shape to play King Leonidas.
Gym Jones, a private, invitation-only fitness center out of Utah, was responsible for the training and fitness for the cast of the movie.
This isn’t your typical fitness center. There are no mirrors, machines or televisions.
Gym Jones did several things to train the actors, as said on their website. The diet they were put on was just enough for them to be able to recover from their workouts while improving fitness. Different movements were combined and included lifting and throwing rings and medicine balls instead of using machines. Other physical challenges were assigned to keep the participants ready for anything.
According to their website, “each session was competitive, with a penalty-reward system tied to performance and results posted daily for all to see.” This helped to motivate the trainees to do their best.
Another training center, CrossFit, has a strength and training program often used by military and police academies, as well as martial artists. They train a broad range of fitness levels, from the elderly to competitive fighters.
With “workouts of the day” to push exercisers to their limits, one will never again complain of their usual, boring workout schedule. They offer numerous fitness routines and journals, as well as tips to improve form and results.
Thousands of athletes have already taken advantage of these two popular, revolutionary programs. Both programs are demanding of their participants, and in return give them back great results. Neither has a set path, but instead meets members’ specific needs.
Now, one more program can be added to this list.
Titan Fitness, located in convenient downtown State College, offers a program inspired by the training done by the cast for the movie 300 and combines the principals of Gym Jones and CrossFit.
According to titanfitness.com, their Elite Training program is a “high-intensity fitness program utilizing a variety of exercises and training formats to test you both physically and mentally in an attempt to break through new thresholds, increase your level of fitness, and better your overall athletic performance.”
Elite Training combines various training methods including weight training, endurance, high intensity cardiovascular, plyometrics, calisthenics and isometrics to tone and transform your body.
What makes this type of training effective is “muscular confusion” – the principle of having variety in your training program. By varying different elements of your workout, such as the types, exercises, repetitions, exercise combinations and degrees of intensity, your body is forced to constantly adapt to anything that’s thrown at it.
Through this, participants will gain strength and stamina, as well as seeing improvement in their sport performance.
Titan Fitness is located on 412 W. College Ave. and can be reached at (814) 235-1015 or send an e-mail to info@titanfitness.com
