This is a great little center. Sue takes the time to be sure everyone understands the movements and the benefits but since she only works with those over 50 she understands some of us may have restrictions. Its nice note to have to wrap my leg around my shoulder but still continue to keeping my flexibility. Top notch classes

Great instruction and atmosphere. I am not over 50 but I love going here. Each session is a good balance of challenge and steady pacing that prevents me from being sore after while still getting a good workout.
