At Meta I offer one free fitness or yoga class per month, available streaming live. Free access to fitness and wellness classes encourages stronger community and also helps members of that community to feel braver in their bodies. That’s what Meta/Physical Studio is all about!
Join me on September 13, 2021 for 45 minutes of Brainiac Step: a high-energy choreographed aerobics class with inspiring music and memorable moves. The class is beginner-friendly — so feel free to come as you are! — and also good for experienced steppers.
What can I expect in the class?
Step aerobics is a group exercise class that utilizes an elevated platorm (a “step”). The movements mimic walking up and down stairs but with a dance-inspired twist for a high-intensity cardio workout. In Brainiac Step I build choreography with “blocking” so that each class has usually 4 blocks. I teach each block slowly and with clear instruction. The “grand finale” of class is putting the blocks together as a routine.
What do I need to take the class?
A step is recommended, although you can do the class without a step. Some participants use a yoga mat to indicate the area to “step” on and others just use the floor. All movements can be done on the floor. Also, feel free to use one or two risers under your step if you want an extra challenge.
You will also need:
- a device to access the class (a PC, Mac, phone, tablet, etc.)
- access to Zoom (it’s free)
- a webcam so I can see you!
- speakers that pair with the device you’ll use to take class
- access to Moxie so you can sign up (it’s easy! just click on the class you want)
What does the choreography look like?
This particular session will be choreography for “Ground Control,” a Level 1 routine. Here is the “grand finale.”
But don’t get overwhelmed! You CAN learn step! Here is a break-down of the some of the moves that make up the blocks:

Looking forward to seeing you on Zoom LIVE for this fun class!
