- On my way here,
I was like, I got this.
I don't got this.
(playful music)
- Today we're going to be taking
an indoor surfing class.
- I've always wanted to surf since I was a little kid.
I was a big fan of Rocket Power.
- Just the fact that it's indoors,
and not in the actual ocean,
is quite alright with me.
- I used to be really athletic in high school,
and even in college, I actually worked out a little bit.
- Two to three days a week I'll work out,
or at least that's what I tell myself.
- I have recently fallen out of love with working out,
and I've been trying to reignite
my working out flame with classes.
- I just wanna get a new skill set
so I can have something to do on the weekends,
because I'm getting old,
and I'm running out of things to do.
- One side, get up,
and now I'm standing up.
- I'm ready. Let's go do this.
- We are currently walking over to our surfing class.
- Right.
- You're looking at American's best surfers.
(Jade chuckles)
- Thank you for coming in to Surfset New York City.
We do surf inspired fitness classes.
So today we're going to do a class
that's called The Blend Format,
equal parts cardio, strength,
and balance intervals.
We like to focus on working specific muscles
and skills that you use surfing in the ocean,
but it's not a learn to surf class,
but what we can do it work those similar muscles
and skills that you use to surf in the ocean,
and also help you to prepare
if you decide to take those skills out.
- So for the class,
is there anything in particular
that we have to wear or not wear?
- We're gonna go barefoot today,
like you're going to the beach,
so you get that good feel on the board
just like you're out on the water.
- [Jade] Let's do it.
(Ashley laughs)
(rock music)
- [Aaron] In our first position.
- Oh my god. (laughing)
- We're getting a feel for
what we call our surf stance, okay?
(clapping)
- That was the warm up.
I guess we got a little bit more time left.
- I think I would have drowned a little while ago.
- I'm really bad.
- Wow, that was nice.
- Oh, thank God.
- This is a good test to see what you need to work on,
and for me that's everything.
- Oh yeah.
- I might not look stable, but I am stable.
- [Jade] Graceful.
(clapping)
- [Ashley] Oh God.
- [Jade] I'm just mirroring you guys at this point.
(clapping)
- [Diana] Thank you.
- That was awesome, thank you guys.
- So encouraging.
- [Jade] Yeah, you guys worked me out.
Thank you, man.
- The instructors are really encouraging,
which is the biggest thing for me.
I'm all about, I can't really do this,
but if you say it in the right tone, I bet I can.
- I loved it.
I think it's the closest I'll get to hitting a wave.
- Surfset was awesome.
Ten out of ten, would do it again.
