class setting offers variety, friendly competition, a planned workout 

and motivating music so group participants enjoy themselves 

more and the time goes by quickly. In turn, exercise intensity 

and adherence is much higher for “groupies” because there’s an 

element of fun, energy and motivation built in. 

Check out the Summer Group Fitness Schedule online: get started 

right. We’ve got all your favorite classes, plus we’ve added more!
