Group Exercise Classes
The group classes are taught by Janene and are offered 4 days per week. These sessions are open to folks of all ages and mobility levels. However, if anyone has difficulty getting on and off the floor without assistance, an individual session is strongly advised. The first class is offered on Mondays which is designed to smoothly ease the clients into the week ahead. The second and third classes are the times to challenge oneself with new exercises. Finally, the Friday class is designed to help clients ease into the weekend with some yoga-style poses.
Mondays @ 10.30 am : Primarily a stretching class with some light exercise thrown in to ease clients into the week ahead
Wednesdays @ 10.30 am : Primarily an exercise class with some light stretching thrown in
Thursdays @ 5:30 pm : Exercise class primarily using TRX cables
Fridays @ 10:30 am : Yoga-style class with a twist to ease into the weekend
