Aquafit
How do you fancy an aerobics class in the pool? Aquafit is high energy and fun, great for improving wellbeing, burning fat and boosting your energy. Exercising in water is a great way to reduce strain or impact on your joints. Most importantly, you don’t need to be a swimmer to take part as your feet will always be able to touch the ground. Great for all ages and abilities who like moderate exercise. Lastly, there’s a ‘women only’ class on Monday morning and everyone is welcome on Monday evening, Wednesday evening and Thursday morning. Jump in and enjoy!
Deep Aquafit
Deep aquafit exercises are done in the deep end of the pool, your feet don’t touch the ground so you’re really working out. Similar to standard aquafit, but with additional swimming elements for a more intense workout. Additionally, you’ll burn more calories and will need to be a confident swimmer. A great workout without traumatic impact on the joints. A class every Thursday morning – enjoy!
Zumba
If you’re ready to shake that booty, move to great music, and enjoy a high-energy dance workout, then Zumba is for you. This fun, feel-good class blends upbeat routines with infectious rhythms to get your heart pumping while barely feeling like exercise.
Expect plenty of laughs, lots of movement, and a brilliant way to boost fitness, coordination, and confidence — all while dancing alongside friends in a welcoming environment. Zumba takes place every Tuesday morning at 9:30 as a women-only session, and Thursday evenings at 19:30 as a mixed class open to everyone. Bring your energy, your smile, and get ready to dance your way to fitness!
