OAKLEY, Ohio (WKRC) – A brand new workout studio just opened in Oakley, but it’s not the kind you’re used to. Fly Bungee Fitness is a low impact, cardio dance-based group class featuring bungee harnesses.
“I grew up dancing all my life and I always enjoyed dance cardio,” owner Jaclyn Kolianos said. “I thought it was a lot of fun. It made me want to exercise and want to work out.”
Each person is strapped into a bungee harness where you can do all kinds of moves, from burpees to squats.
“Yes, it’s fun, but it’s also good for your body,” Kolianos said. “When you run, you really can’t feel impact on your joints because these chords are assisting you.”
Participants will dance to well-known pop songs, like “Fireball” by Pitbull and DNCE’s “Cake By the Ocean,” and although it’s meant to be fun, it still is a work out.
“Usually in the level one classes we burn anywhere from 400 to 500 calories, sometimes more,” Kolianos said. “I burned 2,300 calories teaching 3 classes.”
Each class is $25 but you can save money by buying “bungee bundles.”
The studio is located at 4820 Ridge Avenue.
