MORE INFO ABOUT GROUP FITNESS
Participants are welcome to attend any class. We encourage you to try different classes and find those that you enjoy and will challenge you to meet your personal goals.
Classes are taught showing options (intensity levels) to exercises/routines to accommodate different audience levels (low, intermediate, and advanced – showing options for each person to work at their appropriate intensity level).
Class schedules are modified according to the academic calendar during Thanksgiving break (fall semester) and spring break (spring semester), summer session, and also during finals week for each semester. -
