Workouts are suitable for master swimmers, triathletes and those who would just like to participate in swim workouts.

Pilates Mary Ayers 520-638-7916 scov.pilates@gmail.com Mon., 3 PM, Thu., 1:30 PM, AFC/Studio
Summer is here, and both the Monday and Thursday classes are smaller and more personal, making it a great time to try Pilates. First, we do stretching exercises to warm up and then perform the Pilates mat routine, modifying some of the moves for those with limitations. People ask, “Can the benefits of Pilates, which come from strengthening and stretching exercises, really develop the body’s core (your abdomen and back muscles), make you stronger overall, increase spine mobility and build flexibility?” The answer is a firm, yes. Additional benefits include improved balance, muscle tone, stamina and a feeling of well-being. The cost is $8/class and annual club dues are $20 pp. Please join us or just stop by and watch. Call Mary.
