AQUA ZUMBA
Unique & Versatile!
Those looking to make a splash by adding a low-impact, high energy aquatic exercise to their fitness routine. There is less impact on your joints. The water creates natural resistance, which means every step is more challenging & helps tone your muscles. It takes a few classes to learn how to do the routines, but it is a lot of FUN learning how to move your body in the water.
STRONG & FIT
Full body fitness
This is an all over, cardio, toning, muscle conditioning class, which incorporates, stretching, range of motion, and flexibility. The goal is health and fitness using the multi-directional resistance of water. Mon/Wed/Fri we will work on low, medium, and high intensity. On Tues/Thurs we will strengthen, stretch, work on balance, and range of motion. Participating in this class will help to give you the opportunity to meet the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services weekly exercise guidelines.

HIIT IT!!!
HIIT Meets Water
High intensity interval training (HIIT) alternates short periods of intense exercise with less-intense recovery periods. Participants use maximal effort for 20 seconds and recover for 10 seconds for 8 rounds of work. Some of the proven benefits are increased metabolism, fat burning, weight loss and improved cardiorespiratory fitness. Add the resistance of the water and you also benefit from improved muscle tone. This class is a work at your own intensity and is appropriate for all fitness levels.
