CLASS DESCRIPTIONS

Aqua Tone: A medium to high impact cross-training workout that incorporates dance choreography and water weights all set to fun music of all genres.

Aqua Zumba: Just add water and shake! There is less impact on your joints during an
Aqua Zumba® class so you can really let loose. Water creates natural resistance, which means every step is more challenging and helps tone your muscles.
