Meet Our Water Fitness Instructors |
|
Hi, My name is Joan. I have always loved the water. When I discovered water fitness, I knew it was something that would keep me moving. I have been teaching water fitness for more than 10 years. Over the years, I have taken a variety of classes from AFXX. Some of them have covered Deep Water instruction, Shallow Water instruction, and the use of music in class. I continued my education by taking Silver & Fit Training and a workshop on fitness specifically for women. In the Town of Tonawanda, we are lucky to have a facility that offers so many wonderful fitness options!

I have always loved being in the water! During high school, I was on the town's (in suburban Chicago) community swim team. And, also, I took synchronized swimming and diving classes during summer vacation. An interesting and beneficial opportunity for me was to take a year-long water fitness class as part of post-car accident physical therapy.
I grew up in the Chicago area, came to the Town of Tonawanda during college and have loved being here ever since. The Town's slogan suits me well. I know the Town to be a Great Place to Live, Work and Play!

My husband and I live in Kenmore and raised our children here . I am an ingredient buyer for Lactalis North America (galbani cheese and stonyfield yogurt). I love gardening, dogs and folk music.
In my class, we will focus on muscles used for balance. We'll work to improve your overall strength and flexibility.

My greatest pleasure has been sharing my love and knowledge of fitness by instructing water exercise classes as well as Tai Chi ( a student at Taoist Tai Chi beginning in 1999) on the landside of movement.

As a health nut, I enjoy helping people look at the whole picture of health. Health is not just working out 3x a week with weights or cardio, but learning how other aspects of our daily living are big factors, too. Factors such as eating, sleeping and our stress. I have been working at the aquatic and fitness center for 14 years and teach exercise science to high school juniors and seniors. In that time, I have gained numerous training certifications including: NSCA Certified Personal Trainer NSCA Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist, Titlelist performance golf fitness instructor and more. Whether you are trying to lose weight, new to the gym, or are an athlete, I have the knowledge, skills, and experience to help you and challenge you.

Due to many Covid19 restrictions and safety policies, our water classes will look a little bit different than usual. Water classes will occur outside of our operational hours to help keep our participants and patrons safe. Class capacity will be limited to provide plenty of space for social distancing.
All classes will require a pre-registration. This can be done in person or online.
See above for step by step instructions of how to register online.

Just like our water classes, the land side will be following strict Covid19 safety protocol during classes. Floor markers will keep participants spaced out, no shared equipment at this time (but you are encouraged to bring your own), and masks must be worn at all times while in the facility and in class.
All classes will require a pre-registration. This can be done in person or online.
