Prairie Athletic Club offers five types of classes in our 90 degree warm water pool.  Physician's authorization is required prior to participation.  Class schedules and authorization forms are available at the front desk.  In addition, when class isn't in session, adult only and family swim times are available daily in our warm water pool.

 

 AI CHI:  Continuous flowing movement.  Develops strength, balance, range of motion, and improves breathing skills.  Exercise with beauty and grace.

Arthritis Foundation Aquatic Program (AFAP):  A class that allows you to exercise without putting excess strain on your joints and muscles.  The gentle activities in warm water, with guidance from a trained instructor, will help you gain strength and flexibility.  This class is designed to safely keep your joints moving and improve your sense of well-being. 

 AFAP Plus:  Offers all the benefits of our AFAP classes with longer periods of increased, sustained physical activity.   

STRENGTH & TONE:  An optional 20 minute segment at the end of classes to improve the condition of your muscles and joints by addition resistance equipment.  This portion of class is NOT sponsored by the Arthritis Foundation.  

FLEXIBILITY IN MOVEMENT:  This class was designed for clients with Fibromyalgia.  Created to provide relief for those “tight” spots within the body.  It also promotes strength and toning as well as stretching and range of motion.

Please remember a doctor’s release is requested if you will be attending AFAP and AFAP Plus classes. If you have any questions or concerns please contact BethAnn Lawson, senior fitness director.
