Fitness Classes

Lite & Easy Water Fitness:  A little less intense but still a great workout! An aerobic portion followed by toning, strengthening and stretching. Non-swimmers are welcome. Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays: 9:00 - 9:50 a.m.

Evening Water Aerobics:  Want a great aerobic and strength training workout with zero impact on your joints? Break free from your landlubbing routine and jump in - You can strengthen muscles and joints naturally when you use the resistance of the water against your body and aqua fitness accessories during exercises. 

Salsa Fitness Class:  Burns calories quickly and keeps your body moving plus its fun at the same time. Keep your heart rate up as you strengthen your lower body, make your hips more flexible and help you with your posture. If you’re bored with tradition exercise – this might be the class for you.  

Spinning Classes:  Very Popular!!! It allows you to  stay within a comfortable exercise zone for your fitness level but you still feel like you're "keeping up" with the class.   You will be burning about 7.2 to 13.6 calories per minute and toning your legs at the same time. Spinning is also a great way to strengthen your glutes, thighs, and calves. 

Yoga:  Yoga has many benefits. It can improve flexibility, strength, balance, and stamina. In addition, many people who practice yoga say that it reduces anxiety and stress, improves mental clarity, and even helps them sleep better. Call the Wellness Center for more information regarding classes.
