The American College of Sports Medicine has recommended cardiovascular exercise for the general public since 1978, and for good reason. Cardiovascular conditioning is one of the most fundamental measurements of fitness, and should be a part of any balanced exercise program. Aerobic exercise is just one type of cardiovascular exercise. Listed below is a list of classes taught by a few of our top notch trainers.

Step classes at the San Jose Athletic Club (SJAC) have everything for the "step addicts" to get their fitness fix. Our step classes include choreographed routines which feature the use of a step for a fun and challenging step workout guided by our highly qualified and friendly instructors.
Step aerobics are low-impact and high-intensity group exercise classes. Many runners have compared the impact of running on the body to the impact on the body from step workout. They found that step classes offer similar benefits - but with a much lower impact. Step workouts are a welcome progression from high-impact aerobics for anyone who would like the equivalent of high-impact aerobics with much less body stress. Listed below is a list of classes taught by a few of our top notch trainers.
STEP & TONE
This step aerobics class consists of choreographed step patterns. You’ll challenge your mind and body as you burn calories. The intensity of your workout will be determined by the speed, travel, and execution of your movements. We recommend this class for anyone who has at least some group class experience.
