group exercise classes Aqua Zumba®

Water Walking

If you enjoy ZUMBA®, you will be sure to enjoy Zumba in the water.

Zumba utilizes the principles of fitness interval training/resistance training to maximize caloric output, fat burning, and total body toning.

It provides a mixture of body sculpting movements with easy to follow dance steps. You do not need to be a swimmer to take this class.

Like any water aerobic exercise, water walking is easy on the joints.

Cornhole Have you ever played this game? It’s a lot like horseshoes just with bean bags and a board. Come learn how to play, or just stop by to show off your skills. During the cold winter months, we have indoor boards we set up in the Teen Center.

Thirsty Thursday Every first Thursday of the month, we create some of our favorite drinks while trying new ones too. Drinks include hot cocoa, milkshakes, Sparkle Punch, Arnold Palmer, and a watermelon slushy just to name a few.
