NEW: Pilates with Bobi!
Join us Wednesdays from 9:00–9:45 AM for our brand-new Pilates class! Pilates is a low-impact workout focused on core strength, balance, flexibility, posture, and controlled movement. Whether you’re new to Pilates or have done it before, come give it a try and add something different to your weekly routine!

Have you tried Tabata with Dee yet?
Tabata was added over the summer, and we realized we never gave it the introduction it deserved! This high-energy interval workout combines short bursts of exercise with brief recovery periods for a fun, efficient workout. Join Dee Tuesdays & Thursdays from 5:30–6:15 PM.

And there’s plenty more! September’s schedule includes SilverSneakers, aquatics, cycling, Strength & Cardio, yoga, Y360 options, and more.
