Body Conditioning

Course Overview

Body Conditioning is a total body, music-based, Non dancing, group fitness class

The focus is on functional fitness, strength, mobility and balance exercises.

Perfect for anyone NOT a “dance class fan" or who wants to compliment their cardiovascular workouts with a Body Conditioning workout.

Hi, I am Marion!I have been teaching Group Fitness exercise classes at the NSCC since 2007. As a qualified 'freestyle' exercise instructor, I have more freedom to design choreography and choose music that suits the class. Whether you have been attending my classes for years or are a new student, you will always find my classes to be friendly, encouraging, and a lot of fun, with plenty of laughter along the way.
