GROUP FITNESS AT THE UPPER HUTT Y
There are plenty of things that can feel like a barrier to exercise – age, fitness level, experience, coordination, flexibility… BUT none of them should hold you back! At the YMCA, we have all manner of group fitness classes to suit every ability. There’s no time like the present to work on your well-being and healthy active living is a big part of that.
From low impact Yoga & Pilates, to high-intensity Spin. You’ll find a group fitness class that will match both what your body can do and what you want to do.
Each class is led by an instructor who is well-versed in the activity they coach – but additionally, all YMCA instructors are passionate about helping you get the results you’re after, as well as making sure that everyone has a really good time in our group fitness classes.
