Warm Water Exercise Pool
Individuals with arthritis, pre- and post-joint replacement, spinal stenosis, herniated disc, shoulder problems, diabetes, Parkinson’s, obesity and other physical impairments are excellent candidates for water exercise. All water exercise offers resistance with virtually no impact. We have classes for those who have difficulty with floor exercises and for those who simply want to increase their fitness and feel better.
Water classes are scheduled in quarter sessions. Class size is limited; advance registration and an “All Inclusive” pass or Medicare Advantage program is required to reserve your place in the class.
Good to know
The pool is 86 to 88 degrees, ideal for reducing both joint stress and muscle tension. No class requires participants to go underwater, and depending on confidence in the water, you do not need to know how to swim. Floatation devices are available. The shallowest water is four feet deep and the deepest is five feet.
Several open pool periods are available during the day for those who wish to relax and play or follow their own exercise routines.
Fitness Room
The fitness room is equipped with treadmills, stationary bikes, a rower, elliptical trainers, sit-down ellipticals, NuSteps, various weight machines and free weights.
Participation requires a monthly membership pass, which can be purchased online through the LPR portal or at our office. We offer a BASIC pass for the gym only, or a BASIC PLUS pass for gym, exercise classes and open pool.
Fitness Classes
A variety of floor exercise classes are offered:
Wellness Coordinator
