AUGUSTA, Ga. (WJBF) — Blended Vybes is showcasing the benefits of the Xtreme Hip Hop fitness program, a dynamic fusion of step aerobics and music. In this edition of “Your Hometown Road Trip,” we visited G3 Transformations on Shartom Drive to delve into the program with Brittany Jenkins.
What is Xtreme Hip Hop Step Aerobics?
Located at G3 Transformations in Augusta, Georgia, Brittany Jenkins leads Xtreme Hip Hop Step Aerobics—a modern twist on traditional step aerobics. Jenkins explains, “We modernize classic step aerobics by incorporating contemporary music, offering a high-energy workout that appeals to diverse audiences. I’ve been teaching this program for nearly three years.”
Participant Experiences
According to Jenkins, initial reactions from newcomers often involve skepticism. “People frequently express doubts about their coordination or ability to keep up, saying things like ‘I can’t dance’ or ‘This looks too difficult.’ However, once they start, they enjoy themselves. Our classes attract a wide range of participants, from as young as 5 years old to as senior as 92, and we feature a variety of music genres including hip hop, gospel, and country.”
Physical and Emotional Benefits
Jenkins highlights the program’s extensive physical benefits. “Xtreme Hip Hop provides a high-intensity cardio workout, featuring continuous movement with elevated knees. On a deeper level, it also serves as an emotional outlet; whenever I’ve felt frustrated or upset, I channel those feelings through the workout.”
Invitation to Join
Jenkins encourages potential new participants to join the classes. “Come prepared and open to change. Remember, this is a marathon, not a sprint. Progress at your own pace and you’ll see the results you’re aiming for. I teach advanced classes on Mondays at 7 P.M., and offer sessions for beginners on Fridays at 7 P.M., as well as beginner, intermediate, and advanced classes on Saturdays at 9 A.M. and 10 A.M. The 9 A.M. class is specifically tailored for seniors seeking a slower pace.”
For those looking to enhance their fitness journey with an engaging and flexible program, Xtreme Hip Hop Step Aerobics at Blended Vybes offers a compelling option.
