Multi-level options are given so that you can choose a low, moderate or high impact workout. Fantastic world beat music will inspire you to move. You'll leave feeling strong, stretched and centered.

Bellyfit is a holistic fitness program that provides you with an hour to not only work out, but also to utilize mindful awareness practices to minimize stress. Come to a class and find out why Bellyfit is the fastest growing women's-only fitness program today.

New this year is Bellyfit Sage, the low impact fitness program for the wise and mature woman, of any age, that wants to move at a slower pace, and may have special fitness considerations.
