Join our certified Oh Baby instructors as they guide you through a total body conditioning workout designed for moms and babies. Each 60-minute workout is comprised of strength training, cardio and core restoration with fun and fellowship added to the mix. In case of inclement weather, the class will meet in the Parkview Center for Healthy Living and will be either a cardio or strength format. As part of the program, nutrition support will be provided by a registered dietitian from Parkview Health throughout the six-week session. Scholarships are available upon request for this 7-week session for a 7-week membership. This is made possible through a community health improvement grant through Parkview Health.
Cost: Free to YMCA Members and free to non-members through October 1 due to a grant from Parkview Foundation.
