WHAT TO EXPECT?
A group session will run for 60 minutes including health monitoring, warm up and cool down.
- Group class of 2 – 12 people
- Warm and welcoming environment
- Individual exercise program so you are working to your own capabilities
Bring water bottle and hand towel. Wear exercise clothing and closed in shoes
