your name and let us know what class you are here for

The Arthritis Foundation

has designated October 12th

as World Arthritis Day.

The leading cause of disability in the United States - Arthritis is a condition involving inflammation of the joints causing swelling, pain, stiffness, and diminished range of motion making movement difficult.

There are more than 100 types of arthritis related conditions and for many there is no cure.

With regular exercise, Arthritis suffers can keep their joints mobile, strengthen their muscles

and reduce inflammation helping to suppress the effects of Arthritis resulting in long-term pain relief.

Did you know we offer Group Fitness Classes designed specifically for Arthritis

both in & out of the water?

Our Water Fitness "Arthritis" class is held in our Therapy Pool and focuses on exercises that help to reduce arthritis pain and stiffness while keeping joints flexible and muscles strong. The water provides gentle resistance to build muscle strength and support joints to encourage free movement. This very popular class has a few spots left for Fall in our Monday 12:00 pm class and Friday 11:15 am class. Register Here! 

Our Group Exercise class called "Stretch & Arthritis" is held in the Fitness Gym at 55 Church Street on Tuesdays at 10:30 am. This class is a low-impact exercise program from the Arthritis Foundation Exercise Program. It's objective is to focus on improving functional ability, mobility, muscle strength and coordination to reduce fatigue, pain and stiffness associated with arthritis. Key activities include multiple exercise activities such as warm-up, range of motion/stretching, strengthening, cardiovascular endurance, and a cool down. Register Here!

New winter sessions will be available to sign up for on

December 7th for members and December 14th for non-members.
