ALL participants must complete a Health Questionnaire at the Recreation Center Front Desk PRIOR to participation. It is advised that you inform your instructor of any health concerns prior to each class. Class size is first come first served, and may be limited** by the instructor for safety reasons. Also, for classes in the Aerobics Studio, please wear shoes that have not been worn outside so that the floor will remain clean and dry for the safety of participants.
