How to choose classes

Group fitness classes used to be high-impact and high-injury, emphasising fancy choreography at the expense of cardio-vascular fitness. At Yarra Leisure, our group fitness classes are less stressful and much more effective, with greater focus on all-over conditioning.

Get the workout your body needs. Exercise time is precious. Don't waste it. Choose a class tailored to your needs and fitness level.

Please see the class descriptions link for detailed information on all our group fitness classes.
