Group Fitness Class Descriptions
Make a splash on your fitness journey. This program offers two classes to meet your needs. The Calm Waters class will focus on movement and range of motion and will have lower joint impact. The Wild Waters class will provide more intensity and will focus on raising your heart. Try them both out to see which one fits you best.
