STRENGTH & STRETCH: Offered twice a week, the class begins with a ten-minute, full-body warmup to enhance joint mobility, blood flow, and balance. Using hand weights, resistance bands, or body weight, instructors work all major muscle groups while offering modifications adapted to different ages and abilities. Routines vary, but correct form remains essential and is taught in each class. A thorough cool-down stretches all muscles to enhance participants' flexibility and range of motion. 9:00am-9:50am

​

FIT OVER 50:   Held once or twice a week, the class includes an active warm-up requiring participants to utilize all major muscle groups and planes of movement to increase heart rate and build cardiovascular stamina and endurance. Participants complete twenty to thirty minutes of cardiovascular exercise, ending the class with balance and stretching. 9:00am-9:50am
