Fitness Class Updates
Classes that are not running this session
For the May/June session, we have a few fitness classes that will not be running. We expect that these programs will return during the following cycle.
Chair YogaThis class will be on hiatus over May/June, and we hope it will return for July/August, as the instructor will be away for most of our session.
La Blast During the last few cycles, we have experienced a lower enrollment in this program. We hope to continue to work with the instructor as we move forward to make changes and increase the interest in this program.
OsteoThis class will be on hiatus over May/June, and we hope it will return for July/August, as the instructor will be away for most of our session.
