Programs:

Water Aerobics:

Water Aerobics is a great combination of fun and low impact exercise! These workouts involve various body movements in a rhythmic style. The aerobics program gradually increases from basic steps to high intensity exercises. This class will improve cardiovascular activity and muscle endurance while focusing on body parts such as limbs, chest, abdomen, neck and back. This kind of exercise is appropriate for all age groups and is the perfect course for individuals looking to improve and promote a healthy lifestyle! Classes will be 45 minutes in length and offered in the evenings, Monday-Thursday. Ages 12 and up are welcome with the supervision of a parent/ guardian plus session fee costs.
