Sometimes a group setting can make meeting fitness goals easier and even fun. Several free fitness classes are available in Davis County including high/low fitness, yoga/Pilates, ballet barre and Zumba. 

High/low fitness

This high-energy-updated-aerobics class gathers people in the community to socialize and exercise while listening to motivating music. The class is taught by certified instructor Amy Blake and is held at the church located at 506 South 1200 East near Oak Hills Elementary School in Bountiful. 

Yoga/Pilates class

Taught in the same church in Bountiful (travel east on 500 South and you will run into it). Yoga has been taught once a week for about 10 years. Currently the class is on Tuesday mornings at 9, and will continue throughout the summer. Laura Welch teaches the yoga class and adds elements of Pilates. Kerry Angelbuer, a certified yoga instructor, now teaches every other week and focuses on the mental benefits of the practice. Most participants bring their own yoga mats, but a few mats are available for those who want to give the class a try. 

Ballet barre class

Sarah Taylor teaches a ballet barre class on Monday mornings at CenterPointe Theatre. The free class is very casual and no prior ballet experience is needed. It includes strength training, cardio, and a fun simple choreography right before the cool down and stretch. The class is open to children of all ages at CenterPointe focusing on classical ballet. Classes are held at 7:45 a.m. on Mondays. The theater is located at 525 North 400 West in Centerville.

Zumba

Zumba classes are held two Saturdays a month in the Woods Cross City Hall Multipurpose Room (east side of building next to park). The first class at 11:30 a.m. is called Zumba Gold and is less intense with lower impact than the regular class which starts 45 minutes later. The next Saturday class is June 17. There will be two classes in both July and August that will be announced in the Woods Cross Newsletter that can be accessed online.
