I am really enjoying the classes and everything is always clean and tidy. The instructors are helpful and kind!!!@
I like working out with others in classes. Otherwise, I’d find plenty of reasons not to workout at all. Your class leaders are motivated and energetic and help keep me going.

I love the classes in the aerobics room & the gym not only because the instructors are wonderful, fun , excellent, proficient & friendly but also because those 2 rooms (aerobic room & the gym) are big, have fans & provide for good ventilation --an essential component of exercise during this pandemic.
On the other hand the small non ventilated yoga room is not safe for exercise : not enough space to adequately social distance, & turning on the fan is discouraged.
