POUND® Adults 18+. Co-Op w Oak Creek Pound is an exhilarating full-body workout that combines cardio, conditioning, and strength training with yoga and pilates-inspired movements. Using Ripstix®, lightly weighted drumsticks engineered specifically for exercising, POUND transforms drumming into an incredibly effective way of working out. Designed for all fitness levels, POUND® provides the perfect atmosphere for letting loose, getting energized, toning up and rockin’ out! The workout is easily modifiable and a welcoming philosophy appeals to all ages and abilities. Pound is for ANYBODY. We aspire to change minds and bodies and use beat and alternative movement to launch people to new heights. POUND® was created in 2011 by two women who were both recreational drummers and former college athletes. It’s designed to enhance brain/body connections through the synchronizing movements and our auditory system. The Ripstix are an extension to our arms and increases the muscular force required in each movement. The arm pumping challenges our balance by changing the body’s center of gravity and improves the core and balance.
