CARDIOCIRCUIT®
Combine fun and fitness to increase your cardiovascular and muscular endurance power with a standing circuit workout.  Upper body strength work using hand-held weights, elastic tubing with handles, and a ball is alternated with non-impact aerobic choreography.  A chair is offered for support, head to toe stretching, and complete relaxation in a comfortable position.
*Note: Participants MUST be able to stand for a minimum of 30 minutes in order to meet the prerequisite for this class.

 

CARDIO DRUMS
Using a Fitball elevated on a bucket and a pair of drumsticks, lay down your own beat while bustin' a move to some powerful music.  It's a great full body workout that can be low or high impact!  No rhythm required just a willingness to let your inner rock star out!

 

EASY DOES IT - FOR ADULTS
For adults, in addition to the structured lessons, we also offer pool time set aside for you to come "do it yourself".  This self-instructed class is also a time for you to come build lasting friendships and socialize while working in the water.  It's designed for seniors, those recovering from surgery, and those seeking self-led water exercises to improve range of motion and strength without impact on the joints.  Come enjoy the benefits of water-walking, aqua-jogging or just making new friends.  Space is available in the deep end.  Join the afternoon crowd for an informal water volleyball game in the shallow end!
Have fun and move to the music through a variety of exercises designed to increase muscular strength, range of movement, and activity for daily living skills.  Hand-held weights, elastic tubing with handles, and a ball are offered for resistance, and a chair is used for seated and/or standing support.

SWIMNASTICS
Make friends and meet new people!  Swimnastics is a basic level water exercise class that uses the natural buoyancy and resistance of water and equipment to work toward improving participant flexibility, muscular strength, and cardiovascular endurance.

ZUMBA GOLD® targets the largest growing segment of the population: Baby boomers.  It takes the Zumba formula and modifies the moves and pacing to suit the needs of those who are just starting their journey to a fit and healthy lifestyle.  We all want camaraderie, excitement and fitness as a regular part of our weekly schedule.  ZUMBA GOLD® is the perfect fit!  It's a dance-fitness class that feels friendly, and most of all, FUN!
