WATER FITNESS CLASSES
Aquatic exercise is a low-impact activity that takes the pressure off your bones, joints and muscles. Water offers natural resistance, which helps strengthen your muscles. You can even do aquatic exercise if you don't know how to swim. If you're looking for a way to get your workout in, have fun and feel great when you're done, try one of our water fitness classes below.
WATER AEROBICS
Join us for aerobics. Water aerobics are a great low-intensity way to get fit through exercises that develop cardiovascular fitness and muscle strength. Varied times make it easy to get involved. An Arthritis Aquatic Program is designed to help develop muscle strength and flexibility as well.
