Everything you need to know about Gravity at the YMCA
Looking for a workout that’s efficient, effective, and actually fun? Meet Gravity, a 30-minute group fitness class at the YMCA of Greater Toronto. It’s designed to help you build strength, improve flexibility, and feel your best in less time.
Whether you’re new to exercise or ready to level up your routine, here’s everything you need to know about Gravity — and why members are loving it.
What is Gravity?
Gravity is a 30-minute, full-body workout that uses the Total Gym Encompass, a piece of equipment similar to a Pilates reformer.
By working against gravity using your own bodyweight, you’ll build:
- Strength
- Endurance
- Core stability
- Flexibility
It’s a smart, efficient workout that helps you get more out of every minute.
What makes Gravity different from other fitness classes?
Gravity is designed to adapt to you.
Instead of lifting weights, you use your own bodyweight as resistance. This means:
- The intensity adjusts to your fitness level
- You stay in control of your movement and progression
- It’s low-impact, but still highly effective
The Total Gym Encompass also allows for hundreds of exercise variations, so no two classes feel the same. You’ll stay challenged, engaged, and motivated each time you show up.
Where can you take a Gravity class?
You can experience Gravity at select YMCA of Greater Toronto Health and Fitness centres:
More locations are coming this summer. Stay tuned.
