MUSIC AND ENTERTAINMENT 2: Hip Hop in Shape with Super Street Fitness Class

Are you the hottest thing on the dance floor, or the wallflower watching everyone else dance? Well, there’s great news for you both, and it’s called Super Street, a new fitness class started by 24-Hour Fitness, a chain of fitness clubs located across the country.

Super Street is a fitness class that combines the hottest of today’s hip-hop music, and dance moves to create a “bomb” aerobic workout. Yes, this class breaks down real moves that are seen on MTV. There are two main types of moves involved in Super Street: the move, and the groove. The moves are tricky and slightly complicated, and the grooves go almost hand in hand with the chorus of the song.

“It’s so user friendly, and we try to bring in anybody who wants to move to music,” said Donna Meyer, corporate director of group exercise for 24-Hour Fitness.

The Super Street classes have seen a huge cross section between all age groups, and higher demographics of men than any of the other classes.

“We have all ages and all types,” Meyer said.

This class has produced a new group of fitness instructors who pick their own music and create their own dance moves for each class.

“It’s so fun that the teachers fight over who gets to teach class each day,” Meyer said.

Super Street is a new class that’s being launched for the first time this summer. It’s offered about two to three times a week at any of the 300 locations of 24 Hour Fitness Clubs throughout the country.
