Eric Lemkin's plyometrics classes are not for the faint of heart. "It's really challenging — it's the kind of thing where people are out of breath and dripping sweat the entire time, but they love it," the local trainer says. "It really pushes you." Lemkin, who runs Functionally Active Fitness, guides participants of the high-intensity class through agility drills, tuck jumps, and plyometric jumping jacks — even the notorious "burpee," a squat/push up/leap move. The sessions are a performance-enhancing experience, and Lemkin keeps class sizes small so that he can focus on each student's form. $15 drop-in rate, or $75 monthly membership for unlimited access to Lemkin's studio classes. Tuesdays at 5:30pm. 7601 W. Sylvania Ave. at King Rd., in the Timberstone Plaza. 419-351-3069. www.functionallyactivefitness.com. —AO
