JOINT MOVEMENT (formerly known as AFYAP)

An aquatic exercise program designed for people with arthritis and related conditions. The water provides gentle resistance to build muscle strength and support joints to encourage free movement. Participants should be comfortable in the water but do not need to have swimming skills. Please check with your physician before beginning this program.


SHALLOW WATER EXERCISE

Make the most of the resistive qualities of water to help increase your flexibility, cardio fitness level and muscle strength. Perfect for first-time exercisers, currently active or those looking for a good workout. This class is taught in chest deep water. Participants should be comfortable in the water but do not need to have swimming skills.


DEEP WATER EXERCISE

A powerful workout that will improve your posture, strength and cardiovascular endurance. This non-impact exercise is a perfect alternative for individuals with knee or back problems or those looking for a break from running or high impact activities. Participants should be comfortable in deep water.


AQUA ZUMBA

Jump into the Latin-Inspired, easy to follow, calorie-burning, dance fitness party that makes working out a splash. This program is a safe, effective and challenging workout that integrates the Zumba formula and philosophy into traditional aqua fitness, moving against
the resistance of the water.
