Aerobics Class Aerobics is defined as extended activities that make you breathe hard while using the large muscle groups at a regular, even pace. Aerobic activity trains the heart, lungs and cardiovascular system to process and deliver oxygen more quickly and efficiently to every part of the body. Aerobics is also helpful for weight control. An aerobically fit individual can work longer, more vigorously and achieve a quicker recovery at the end of the aerobic session.
Aquatics
Pools are not just for swimming anymore! Many forms of exercise, from aerobics to step training to running have taken to the water, joining traditional swimming as among the world's most popular fitness programs. Whether you are pregnant, recovering from an injury or simply want to try a new way to get fit, we have an aquatics program that will suit you.
Body Blast
Body Sculpting includes muscle strengthening and endurance workouts for all the body's major muscle groups. Body blast is ideal for those who dislike or can not perform high impact workouts. Body blast is considered group weight training to music. It also helps to prevent osteoporosis by increasing one's bone density. Our instructors will teach proper form while leading you to a more toned and defined body.

Pilates
This class offers you a body balancing system that strengthens, lengthens, realigns and defines your body. Pilates is an exercise-based system that aims to develop the body's "centre" in order to create a stable core for all types of movement.

Cycling
Whether you are just getting started or have an established training program, we can help you achieve your fitness or racing goals with our cycling program. Cycling can offer benefits for both fitness and fat burning. You can vary your programs so that you can alternate between fitness and fat burning, or a program that includes both. And you don't need to cycle for hours on end. Twenty to thirty minutes of exercise is usually sufficient for good results.
Step Classes Step training is a variation of stair climbing in which a raised platform - or step - is employed to perform a number of routines. These step patterns ensure a high intensity workout - 30% more body fat metabolized than in traditional aerobics. However these are still low impact exercises that place only mild stress on the feet and joints. We offer programs for all fitness levels, join a class today!
Swimming Classes
Swimming builds strength and endurance, promotes weight loss, and provides a life-saving skill. And it's a low-impact form of exercise. Swimming utilizes the natural buoyancy of water so that no pressure or strain is placed on working muscles and joints. We offer classes based on age and skill level and are taught in levels of progression to enhance learning and ensure water safety.
Zumba
ZUMBA is a fusion of Latin and International music - dance themes that create a dynamic, exciting, effective fitness system! The routines feature aerobic/fitness interval training with a combination of fast and slow rhythms that tone and sculpt the body. Zumba utilizes the principles of fitness interval training and resistance training to maximize caloric output, fat burning and total body toning. It is a mixture of body sculpting movements with easy to follow dance steps.
