Outdoor Dryland Bootcamp It's time to get outside and play! The SAC is offering a workout in the wonderful outdoors. This class involves a movement prep warm up and then heading outside for a combination of running, strength, stability, agility and plyometrics. The key to this class is in utilizing the elasticity we all have trapped inside of our bodies! It's time to go outside...and PLAY a little.

Skiing Want to be able to ski the powder this season without getting tired? Want to be strong and stable BEFORE the snow comes so you don’t have to worry about injury and can just PLAY in the snow? Coming in the fall: SKI PREP CLASSES that will lead into SAC's SKI DAYS on the mountain! This year learn to back-country ski, powder ski, beginner ski classes, 1:1 and small group ski lessons and tours with our outdoor porfessionals!

Hiking/Trail Running The Northwest has some of the most scenic hiking to participate in! Get ready to join your fellow hiking enthusiasts and the Seattle Athletic Club for hikes all over the Northwest! We will tailor each hike for the nature watchers as well as the exercise enthusiast by having two groups of hikers; one group that goes at a slower pace and enjoys the views and nature and a second group looking to make the hike more of a workout through trail running. Hiking enthusiast can carpool to the hike from the Seattle Athletic Club or just meet the group at the trail head.
