Lake House Fitness Class Information and Schedule Changes

Posted on February 22, 2019 by

Lake House Fitness Class Information

Over the last year, we have worked on a strategic plan to expand the fitness area and increase the fitness options and offerings at The Lake House.

Starting on Tuesday, February 26th, all regularly scheduled group fitness classes (with the exception of water and spin classes) will transition to the Live Oak Hall. Spin classes (RideSBI and Evening RideSBI) will move into the new Studio area (formerly the stretching room).

In addition to the transition to the Live Oak Hall, we will also have 2 time changes. Beginning in March, Gentle Yoga will move to 8:15 am and Total Body Toning will move to 11:00 am on Mondays.

GENTLE YOGA- 8:15 am * Mondays

This is a great way to learn the yoga positions, increase flexibility, promote spinal health and reduce stress.  This class combines gentle movement with the breath followed by a deep relaxation.

TOTAL BODY TONING – 11:00 am * Mondays and Wednesdays

Instructor Michelle Peterson will lead you through this medium paced class that emphasizes toning exercises targeting muscle strength and stability from the core while incorporating other major body muscle groups simultaneously.
