I photographed an Adonis Body System workout class for the Dacula Patch newspaper on Friday, September 16, 2011. Created by Rick Twombley, the theory behind the class combines yoga, pilates, strength conditioning, dance moves, aerobics, interval and resistance weight training and kick boxing to increase flexibility, cardio fitness and overall well being. Twombley came up with the idea for the program while working as an aerialist for Cirque du Soleil in Las Vegas. These are my favorite images from the class.
