Revolutionary Shape Up (RSU) is the perfect program to get you to the ideal fitness level. RSU includes a comprehensive weight management program incorporating nutrition, cardiovascular exercise and resistance training, lifestyle modification, and works with all fitness levels.
The program began in 2002 with co-founders, Ronnie and Leslie Klaus, both NSCA certified personal trainers. From 10 people in one class the first year to as many as 120 people in five classes over the years, the program has grown tremendously. Classes are offered four times each year: a 12-week class in January, an eight-week class in the spring, a six-week class in the summer, and an eight-week class in the fall.
There are two classes offered on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays: 10 to 11 a.m., 11 a.m. to 12 p.m., and 12 to 1 p.m.* (if needed). Two classes are offered on Tuesdays and Thursdays: 10 to 11:30 a.m.* (if needed) and 5:30 to 7 p.m.

Format:
The class consists of mandatory cardio for half the class time, and non-stop, light free weights for the other half. Each class contains 15-23 people, and you will be supervised by a trainer at all times following their instruction (cardio included). Depending on your class time and day, you will work with Registered and licensed dietitian, Melissa Hawthorne, who will give you a 30-minute nutrition lecture each week. You are expected to record your food daily in an online food journal so that the dietitian can oversee your food choices and offer helpful suggestions for you to achieve a balanced diet. On the days she lectures, we do a higher intensity cardio/drill workout or a workout upstairs for the remainder of your time.
Participation:
The program is open to any members of The Houstonian Club. Due to the growing popularity of the program, a waiting list is an almost certainty. We do allow nonmembers of The Houstonian Club to participate in the program once a calendar year, but members of The Houstonian Club do get first priority in class times.
