As this year will soon draw to a close, we wanted to thank our members for their support and patience as we continue to adapt to our new surroundings. We were really hoping to have construction underway upstairs in our 'dedicated' space in 2022 but sadly we faced a delay. That said, construction is scheduled to begin in January 2023 and we are so excited to eventually have a space to call our own.
Thank you to our fabulous volunteers who dedicate their time throughout the year. Volunteers have accumulated many hours to run some of our programs and also our Greeters who welcome and check in our members. We couldn't do this without you and for this, we are eternally grateful.
We are really looking forward to our Christmas party. We have sold over 100 tickets. The party which will be taking place in our (yet to be finished) dedicated space. We have invited Joan and Mike from 'Now and Then' to entertain us. They have been extremely popular over the years singing all the classics that we know and love.
On behalf of myself and all the staff, we wish you a joyous holiday season filled with love, happiness and prosperity.

Price Increase to some classes and programs - January 1, 2023
We appreciate each and every one of our members. We offer over 50 programs per week catering to the 60+ at our new, bright location. We wouldn't be the vibrant facility we are without you and we thank you for your continued support.
With that said, we have recently reviewed our drop- in prices and starting January 1, 2023 there is to be an increase to some of our programs. The fitness classes for example have not been increased since as far back as 2009 (or perhaps earlier). This minimal increase will allow us to continue to provide high-value services to our valued members. All of our instructors are experienced and knowledgeable at what they do and we are extremely grateful for having them on our team. Further, we are committed to continually improve your experience by introducing new and exciting programs, and the purchasing of new equipment for our classes.
In 2023 there will be no increase to membership fees.

Regular Aqua
Aqua Aerobics classes are a great way to mix up a traditional gym workout with the wondrous benefits of water. It only takes a few aqua aerobics sessions and you’ll see a big difference in your overall fitness.
Also known as water aerobics or sometimes waterobics, typical classes will involve all the exercises you would expect in a ‘dry’ class. But there are added bonuses when you exercise in water.
