Wanna try Water Aerobics with us, but not sure what to bring? No problem, here’s some ideas from our friend Marta Rusek: Digital Storyteller.

We have a special summer schedule for Water Aerobics classes and more fitness activities. Check our website for the latest information!

[Video description: A video of Fitness Alive enthusiast Marta Rusek sharing all the things to brings to our Water Aerobics class - a comfortable swimsuit, something to pull back her hair, a (non-glass) water bottle, water shoes (she shows a pair from Lands' End), a robe to put on after class (stops the chilly feeling!), and a towel (we sell them here at Fitness Alive). She also dons sunglasses and encourages bringing an attitude, as she strolls into the pool area. She ends the video with a thumbs up and “See you at Water Aerobics!”]
