If you want to add some fun to your stale fitness routine, look no further than Fling Bungee Fitness in Noblesville. Owner Karrie Lacina describes bungee fitness as a fun, low-impact, high-energy cardio workout and resistance training program choreographed to music. The bungee cords provide both assistance and resistance for a change of pace from a typical cardio workout.
The bungee cords are attached to the ceiling, Lacina says. Before the scheduled class, we ask questions about height and weight to customize the bungee cords to each individual. Youre not putting as much pressure on your joints because the bungee cords provide buoyancy. It makes you a little lighter on your feet.
Lacina says shes always been into fitness and has tried every workout imaginable. She says she saw a clip on Facebook about bungee fitness and thought she would like to open a studio. She started slowly by purchasing equipment to try out in her basement. She completed certification training and opened in Noblesville in June of 2022.
Clients must participate in the Beginner Intro to Bungee class to get started. The course teaches terminology, bungee movements and proper bungee fitting. Lacina says participants must learn how to control the resistance of the bungee. She says it takes some time to learn to trust the cord.
Clients may then move on to Intermediate Bungee, where they learn athletic and bungee techniques choreographed to fun music. As the method is mastered, clients may move on to classes like HIIT Me Up!, incorporating hand weights.
A lot of people think the workouts are going to be easy or that theyre going to be flying through the air, Lacina says. They get in the studio and realize its a hard workout that is also so much fun. Many of our clients are women, and my goal was to create a place with a ton of energy where women can feel free of judgment and enjoy themselves while working out.
Fling Bungee Fitness also offers a trampoline fitness class called Choreo Bounce. Clients utilize trampolines to elevate their heart rate while participating in a low-impact workout. Lacina says trampoline classes help with balance and coordination while stimulating the lymphatic system.
Additionally, the studio offers vinyasa flow yoga, mat pilates, aerial yoga, kids classes, and one-on-one personal training to round out any workout regime. Lacina says she offers private parties for groups of six to 15 people in either aerial yoga or bungee fitness.
Weve had bachelorette parties, girls night out parties, team-building groups and birthday parties, Lacina says. Its a great way to have a fun night with friends. They learn some basic techniques while laughing and having a great time.
Classes can be purchased individually or in discounted packages. Packages can be used for any class at Fling Bungee Fitness.
