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 />

member is required to sign in prior to the start of the class. Advance sign-in is neither necessary<br />

nor permitted with the exception of specialty (pre-registration-required) classes and certain<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 />

<strong>Schedule</strong>s are subject to change, so members are encouraged to routinely check the master<br />
