This class is held in Clinton in water up to 7 ft. in depth.  Deepwater exercise increases the range of motion by allowing the body to move in positions unrestricted by the pool bottom.  A focus on correct body alignment, posture, core conditioning, and mobility helps promote strength and reduce the risk of injury.  Flotation devices can be worn and accommodations made for participation in shallow water if desired.  These classes are challenging, yet great for the beginner.

This class converts mat-based Pilates and reformer Pilates exercises into pool-based exercises.  Similar to traditional Pilates, it works to lengthen the body and increase abdominal and back strength. Like traditional Pilates, it also is helpful for adopting better posture and balance. It is most beneficial for people who are affected by health ailments that prevent the use of mats or reformers such as arthritis, scoliosis, and chronic obesity. With Aqua Pilates, water and the body’s own muscles provide the resistance necessary to receive a full-body workout. Water shoes are not necessary, but some people find that they prevent slipping.

A fun-filled class for any age and fitness level. Held in both Clinton and Whitehouse.

This class is held in the pool in Whitehouse (85º-87º).  This program allows participants with arthritis, fibromyalgia, rheumatic or musculoskeletal conditions, and those who are generally de-conditioned, to safely exercise in a group environment.  The gentle activities in warm water, with guidance from a certified instructor, focus on increasing range of motion, postural alignment, and balance. Participants enjoy increased flexibility and mobility and report decreased pain and stiffness after joining the class. (CURRENTLY UNAVAILABLE)
