In efforts to increase student involvement on campus, IU Southeast is currently offering free Turbo Kick, PiYo and Zumba classes held in the Activities Building between noon and 1 p.m. Monday through Wednesday.

“This is the third semester this has been offered and hopefully with the change in the time it will appeal to more student involvement,” Chandra Matthews, Turbo Kick instructor and programmer and analyst in Institution Research and Assessment, said.

Matthews said Turbo Kick targets 10 muscle sections with benefits increasing heart rate, speeding up the metabolism and strengthening muscle development.

“[In the past] there has been more staff attending when classes were held from 5:30-6 p.m.,” Matthews said.

Matthew’s goal is to have 20 students in each class.

Jessica Aldous, music business junior, and Allie Fessel, psychology junior, said they both attended the Turbo Kick classes in hopes of losing weight.

“I’ve attended before at the Louisville YMCA,” Aldous said.

Fessel said she has never tried this type of exercise before.

“I would probably try the other classes,” Fessel said.
