Gentle Strength (60 min, On Demand). A gentle strength/core/cardio exercise class that aims to assist people build strength, core and mobility in seated, supported standing and lying positions. This class was created to be a temporary substitute for our Aquatherapy but has expanded into online life of it's own! A great beginner's or low-moderate intensity level class for those who are a bit cautious about movement or exercise. It's an accessible offering with entry level participants in mind. Modifications are offered in each class.
Cardio Strength: (45-60 min, On Demand). A livelier class for those who are able to move their bodies more freely. This resembles a HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training, although perhaps more realistically a Moderate to High Intensity) class in that a variety of different strength and cardiovascular activities (with dumbbells, resistance bands or body weight) are woven into unique routine. Instructors give options for a variety of levels of intensity throughout the class.
