Offering a wide variety of classes, everything from the quick upbeat Body Pump to the gentle chair yoga and Tai Chi, we have a program that fits your needs. Our trained fitness staff will help you evaluate whether it is better to start out in a gentle water workout or jump into a Step Kick Fusion class.
Our 12 Week Program, Woman to Woman Program and Personal Training can be tailored to your specific needs. Our Nutritional Counselors can walk you through a safe and easy way to change the self-sabotaging eating habits that keep you stuck in a rut.
