Pickleball with Michele
Pickleball is best described as a combination of badminton, ping-pong,
and tennis. Players use a paddle that is reminiscent of ping-pong paddles
but is bigger and usually made of more advanced materials. The ball used
is very similar to a plastic whiffle ball with holes covering the surface.
Pickleball can be played as singles or doubles, just like tennis. Pickleball
is truly a game for all ages, shapes, and skill levels. The rules are
simple enough for kids to easily pick up and many people develop a passion
for the sport after just a couple of games. Because of the smaller court
size and light ball, the game is incredibly popular among seniors looking
for a low-impact form of exercise.
SHiNE Dance Fitness™ with Bre

class rooted in jazz, ballet, and hip hop. She uses current music and

Strength and Cardio with Mel
A fun mix of strength and cardio that's always changing. All ages and fitness
levels are welcome, we can modify it to make the class work for you.
Yoga with Michele
Yoga fit marries traditional Hatha Yoga with a vinyasa flow mindset. Although
this class does not use Sanskrit terminology, the poses are the same.
Each class starts with one or two Sun Salutations followed by poses based
on the knowledge/abilities of the participants that will not only challenge
but improve one’s balance, strength and flexibility.
