Aquarobics

This cardiovascular water workout is a low impact yet invigorating and effective way to burn calories and tone your muscles.

Improve cardiovascular endurance and tone the entire body through aerobic exercise and stretching all in the water. A medium intensity class which incorporates music to provide a great workout for all fitness levels.

Aqua Jogging

Use floatation equipment to “jog” in the water with little to no impact on the knees and hips. Free for YMCA members.

Aqua Kickboxing

This is an energizing, powerful class that will effectively burn calories and tone your muscles. An extremely intense and effective workout.

Aqua Zumba

Join us for a Zumba party like never before! Shake, shimmy and sizzle in the water as we create some heat, Zumba style. Aqua Zumba is a safe, effective and challenging water-based workout that integrates the Zumba formula and philosophy into traditional aqua fitness. This is definitely not your typical water workout!

Wet Workout

Take advantage of the water’s natural resistance to improve flexibility and range of motion and relieve muscle tension. Low to no impact on joints – a great way to start off and get used to moving in the water. The class takes place in the shallow end only, so non-swimmers are always welcome.
