Exercising in the water provides you with a no-impact workout that is adaptable to beginners through experienced exercise enthusiasts. Mason Community Center offers three types of drop-in group exercise classes throughout each week. WATERinMOTION is a shallow-water, low-impact exercise experience that improves cardiovascular endurance, agility, balance, strength, and flexibility. Cardio Water Fit improves cardio, balance, coordination, flexibility, and range of motion in a medium intensity, shallow water class. The Deep Water Workout class offers medium to high intensity and challenges your core muscles, providing an effective cardio workout without the stress to your joints. Belts are worn in this class for neutral buoyancy.

Bodies in Balance: Water is also available and is ideal for those who have arthritis, Parkinsons, fibromyalgia, discharged or phase 3 pulmonary rehab, balance issues or any other joint pain. This class is led by a certified athletic trainer and features more rehab-based exercises compared to a traditional water aerobics class.
