X-Stream
Are you ready to pump up your water workout? Come be instructed on the power of a current, and how it can strengthen virtually every muscle in your body. Our instructor Lisa Huseman has numerous years of experience. Teaching all things water and water exercise is her niche. This 30 minute-water workout will help burn twice as many calories as you would burn on land because water is twelve times denser than air.

Stand-Up Paddle Board Fitness
Ages 10+.With a patented fitness band system, you'll be standing on a paddle board in the water while holding the fitness bands that are clipped onto the board just in front of your feet. From here you'll go through varied exercises that mimic an interval gym workout. Curls, squats, chest press, planks, abs, even burpees! In between sets there will be active rest on and off the board. We like to have fun while working out so you may be duck walking in the pool, prone paddling on the board, or just sitting on the board and kicking your feet in the water, who knows. It all depends on the energy of the class. Class meets Monday and Wednesday during each session.
