Group Exercise Classes<br />
LifeStyles Group Exercise classes are designed to help you achieve your prescribed fitness<br />
and wellness goals. An exercise specialist would be happy to review your file and recommend<br />
classes that will help you. No prior group exercise experience is necessary for participation.<br />
Please consult your physician or primary healthcare provider before beginning any exercise<br />
program.<br />
To help ensure your safety and to help our management staff evaluate class utilization; each<br />

equipment-based classes such as Group Cycling.<br />
Most classes require proper athletic footwear. Please change out of street shoes into indoor<br />
athletic training shoes prior to entering the studio. Cycling shoes may NOT be worn into the<br />
studio; cycling participants may change into cycling shoes only after they are on their cycling<br />
mat. Yoga and Pilates participants may remove their shoes at the door of the studio but must<br />
wear shoes to and from class.<br />
All classes are 55 minutes in duration unless otherwise noted. For your health and safety, it is<br />
very important to perform the warm-up at the beginning of each class; therefore, no one will<br />
be admitted into class after the first ten minutes. It is highly recommended that all participants<br />
remain in the class for its entirety to ensure a safe and proper cool-down.<br />
Some class formats are unique to one center. Class availability is subject to change based on<br />
interest and class size.<br />
