Peak Performance

A unique aspect of Peak Performance exercises classes is the class size. If you’re looking for a challenging class that isn’t overcrowded and lets you work out with your fellow fitness enthusiasts, this is the class for you..
Peak Performance fitness classes are interval-based classes focusing on building strength. Short bursts of high-energy training followed by longer recovery periods. No two classes are exactly alike, which helps your body avoid plateauing and keeps your body burning fat and calories long after your workout has ended.
Participating in a Peak Performance session raises your body’s metabolic rate through the following types of exercises:
Plyometric movements
Weight training (heavy lifting)
Cardio
Working out in a Peak Performance exercise class ensures that you stay on track to meet your metabolic goals because the instructor works with you.

The MAC Fitness Department is proud to offer a variety of mind and body services designed to complement and enhance and expand your health and wellness routine. Integrate a Sound Bath meditation session or reiki session into your acts of self-care and relax – let someone tend to you for a change.

Touch The Body. Heal The Mind. Calm The Spirit.

Reiki
A new and exciting addition to our offerings, Reiki – Japanese for “universal life force energy” – is a meditative modality used to calm, center, and balance. It can be so difficult to give yourself permission to rest. We see Reiki as an invitation to relax, where the only task at hand is to lie quietly, accept the care and attention of the practitioner and - following their lead – allow yourself to be immersed in an act of nurturing.
The practitioner transmits energy through their hands – touch is often used, but not required – to allow qi, or life force, to flow through the recipient’s body.
With Reiki every recipient will feel a unique and individualized effect. A feeling of flow and movement is common, and recipients are often treated to a sense of peace.
