Since my wife and I purchased a house in Oakwood in 2013, first as snowbirds then full time in 2021, we participated in the Aqua Fitness class at the Oakwood pool. The class is a super stretching workout more than strength building, but it’s great for retaining and improving mobility.
Sometime in the late 1990s, an Oakwood resident named Karin Williams started the class. Several years ago, Karin relocated, and Lori assumed ongoing leadership responsibility. I imagine that this class is one of the longest continuing no-cost exercise activities in IronOaks. Depending on season and weather, class sizes have varied from 3 to 33, are open to men and women, and, as I noted above, are no cost! In addition to the mobility benefits, the pace of the exercise moves at a clip whereby you can meet and talk with other members of the IronOaks community.
It’s a great activity on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays from 9 to 11 a.m. You can stay for all or only part. It’s the best exercise buy in all of Sun Lakes!
