General Classes

Exercise is crucial for general fitness as it strengthens the body, builds endurance, and improves overall health. Engaging in regular exercise helps to build lean muscle mass and increase cardiovascular fitness. Exercise also helps to maintain healthy body weight, and reduces the risk of chronic diseases such as obesity, diabetes, and heart disease. It can also help to improve mood and mental health by reducing stress and anxiety levels, leading to an overall feeling of wellbeing. Incorporating a regular exercise routine into daily life can lead to improved physical fitness and overall health, making it an essential part of a healthy lifestyle.

Hydrotherapy

Hydrotherapy can help with pain management, physical function, well-being and mood, mobility and balance, strength, fitness and reconditioning. It takes weight off joints and allows better range of motion of limbs. This class is designed to help clients with any muscular or bone discomfort such as Arthritis.

Bone Strengthening

These classes are designed to help with bone strengthening by stimulating the growth and development of bone tissue. Weight-bearing exercises such as running, jumping, and weightlifting help to promote the formation of new bone tissue, making bones stronger and denser. Exercise also helps to improve bone mineral density, which can decrease the risk of fractures and osteoporosis. When bones are subjected to the stress of exercise, they respond by increasing their density and strength, much like how muscles grow and strengthen with exercise.

Additionally, regular exercise can help to improve balance and coordination, reducing the risk of falls and fractures, especially in older adults. Incorporating weight-bearing exercises into a regular exercise routine can be a simple yet effective way to promote bone health and reduce the risk of bone-related conditions.
