We will have different forms of exercise offerings throughout the year that will be basic and varied. This opportunity is available to all women regardless of fitness level or ability.  Most importantly it will have a focus on God and be a supportive and fun time together.  Come to one, some, or all!  Please note: Facilitators are volunteers only and not professional trainers.
