The Garlands enthusiastic and knowledgeable fitness experts are always up for a good time and mindful that inspiration, creativity, and good old-fashioned FUN are key to a healthy lifestyle regardless of age.
That’s why they infuse The Garlands traditional fitness offerings, like weightlifting, land and water aerobics, balance classes, Pilates, yoga, Zumba, and Boot Camps, with innovative “extra-curricular” activities.

“Once Garlands members decide to join the fitness fun, they quickly learn that we have a ball creating a supportive wellness-oriented community together and start realizing many beneficial results.
