Build muscle strength and endurance in this group fitness class. We will use dumbbell weights and other equipment to move through a variety of muscle fitness exercises including standing and floor exercises with little rest between. Modifications and a range of weights will be offered.

Participants are advised to bring a mat and water. 

This is an Intermediate to Advanced exercise class. Members will be able to register for up to three fitness classes total (plus a Water Aerobics if you are a Plus member). As part of the three fitness classes, you can take up to a maximum of two at your level, plus any number of general levels to get you to your three fitness classes. Water and Aqua Aerobics still require a Plus membership.

This program runs through both Term sessions and will run approximately 10-12 weeks. Specific dates can be found in the confirmation.
