Surf’s Up

Let’s go surfin’ now, everybody’s learning how…at the new SURFSET Fitness classes at Spa Montage! Cowabunga dude!

Ok, enough with the surf phrases. But seriously, the new fitness craze, first seen on Shark Tank has officially launched this month with Spa Montage serving as the exclusive destination to experience SURFSET Fitness classes in Orange County.

Susanne and I had the opportunity to take a class recently and I had NO idea what to expect. But fitness is a passion of mine, so I love mixing up my workouts and trying new things.

The SURFSET fitness classes take place on a custom kinetic surfboard balanced on exercise balls and tethered down, so, when standing on it, you have to pretty much use every muscle to stabilize, especially in your core. When I took my first step up, I wasn’t sure I was going to be able to stay on the board! But after we got into the hang (10) of it, balancing got “easier” so we could focus on the moves while grooving to surf tunes.

A single session can burn anywhere from 500 – 900 calories in only 45 minutes. By using your core to balance on the board, you are able to build core strength, burn fat and build lean muscle. Just imagine planking on the board. Takes planking to a whole new level.

The following packages and offers are available now through February 28^th at special introductory prices. Final pricing for the remainder of 2014 is still to be determined. If you know anyone who loves doing different fitness classes, this would make a great Christmas gift!

SURFSET Private Training Sessions: 

Single Sessions: $100
Weekend Warrior (3 sessions): $260
Hang 10 (10 sessions): $650

**The above can be private sessions or you may combine your sessions with any of the SURFSET group classes offered.  Each session/class comes with spa access for the day that includes spa facilities, additional wellness classes, spa pool, and fitness center.

SURFSET Group Classes:

“Drop Ins”: $20 (for those guests who would like to take a class only.  No locker or amenity usage.  Parking not included.)

Single Group Class with Spa Access: $75 (includes parking validation and all day spa access)

Let me tell you what an amazing deal the single group price is at $75! You see, once you step foot into Spa Montage Laguna Beach, you are not going to want to leave. Trust me.

The $75 includes access to the spa for the ENTIRE DAY. This means you can take advantage of the oceanfront spa pool, steam, jacquzzi, sauna, cold plunge, relaxation room, the works.  People would pay $75 for that ALONE, so to get to do one of the SURFSET fitness classes is like a super cool bonus! Like I said, amazing holiday gift. Click here to purchase a Montage Gift Card.

Or, plan a spa day with a bunch of girlfriends to do one of the SURFSET Fitness Classes at Spa Montage. You will get such a kick out of it, and a great workout at the same time!
