  • Water Energy:

    This is a high-energy, high-intensity class! The instructor focuses on cardio variations and challenging endurance exercises that strengthen your heart, lungs and body.

  • Water Fit:

    More intense cardiovascular exercise class that utilizes barbells, buoyancy equipment and resistance equipment for a challenging aerobic exercise.

  • Water Fit Plus:

    Designed to promote cardiovascular fitness, muscle tone, endurance and flexibility without the stress of a traditional land exercise.

  • Deep Water:

    An intense deep-water class that incorporates cardiovascular fitness, core strengthening and toning. Flotation equipment is provided. Resistance equipment may also be used for additional toning.

  • Shallow Water Aerobics:

    Our water exercises include this one-hour, low-impact shallow-water class. It's a cardiovascular workout for all older adults looking to be active, and it's not necessary to know how to swim.
