Get more out of your workout & join us in the water for a high energy full body fitness class.

Enhance your flexibility, range of motion and increase your cardiovascular fitness while utilizing the water’s natural buoyancy & resistance.

You’ll feel the difference and enjoy the pool too. Aqua shoes recommended.
