the fitness floor to assist you with the<br />

equipment and to answer questions<br />

regarding your program. Members are<br />

encouraged to get a new assessment<br />

every six months and exercise<br />

prescription every two to three<br />

months, which is included with<br />

your membership.<br />

Group Exercise Classes<br />

<strong>LifeStyles</strong> 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 program.<br />

Advance sign-in is neither necessary nor permitted with the exception of specialty (preregistration-required)<br />

classes and certain equipment-based classes such as Group Cycling or<br />

barbell classes. Most classes require proper athletic footwear. Please change out of street<br />

shoes into indoor athletic training shoes prior to entering the studio. Cycling shoes may NOT<br />

be worn into the studio; cycling participants may change into cycling shoes only after they are<br />

on their cycling mat. Yoga and Pilates participants may remove their shoes at the door of the<br />

studio but must wear shoes to and from class.<br />

All classes are 45-55 minutes in duration unless otherwise noted. For your health and safety, it<br />

is 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. Some class formats<br />

are unique to one center. Class availability is subject to change based on interest and class size.<br />

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

exercise schedules available on <strong>Akron</strong> <strong>General</strong>’s website – akrongeneral.org/lifestyles.<br />
