Class Descriptions

Aquafit

This class gives a great cardiovascular workout, gently increasing your pulse and breathing rate, so it’s great for helping to improve your heart health. It strengthens and tones muscles – the resistance of the water means that opposing muscle groups are worked in each movement as you push and pull against it.

H.I.I.T & Core

High-intensity interval training (HIIT) workouts require bursts of high-intensity exercises followed by brief periods of recovery with Core/Abdominal exercises added for a full body workout.

Zumba

Zumba is an interval-style dance fitness party that combines low-intensity and high-intensity moves. You’ll burn lots of calories as you move to the rhythm with Latin-inspired dance moves.

BoxFit

A high energy, non-contact fitness class. Boxfit incorporates age old boxing techniques and fresh new exercises resulting in an all over body workout that is also an excellent stress buster.
