Group Exercise
“I love taking Group Ex classes! I have done a lot of Zoom and in person classes. You become part of a community of people that provide support, encouragement and help build each other up. The instructors are awesome and helpful. They have truly helped me stay accountable and active. I always have more energy and feel better after I am done. I am also very thankful for the Zoom option! It has afforded me the opportunity to take more classes and still interact with others in the class. It has been a lifesaver!”
The communities and friendships built in our group exercise classes help facilitate social and wellness support and lasting life change. With the transition to zoom group exercise classes throughout the past year, we have seen the impact of group ex classes more than ever!
From Zumba to cycling, we have a multitude of group exercise classes. These classes typically meet twice a week, are 30 - 45 minutes in duration and run in six or eight week sessions.
Members who register for more than one group exercise class in a session pay full price for their first class and will receive $20 off each additional class. Classes must be taken within the same session. Dot Foods pays $15 towards each class for all Dot employees.
