Group Exercise Classes

The group classes are taught by Janene and are offered 3 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 class, on Wednesday, is the time 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 @ 10.00 am : Primarily a stretching class with some light exercise thrown in to ease clients into the week ahead

Wednesdays @ 10.00 am : Primarily an exercise class, using bodyweight exercises and TRX cables, also with some light stretching thrown in

Fridays @ 10:30 am : Yoga-style class with a twist to ease into the weekend

We offer several attractive packages. Pick and choose the one that best suits your interest and schedule!
