"Vita is no joke when it comes to whipping your butt into shape. But don't let that scare you. She is also the most compassionate person you will probably ever meet. Whether it is a water class such as Aquacise or a Senior Sneakers class, you cannot go wrong with choosing Vita as your instructor."

TRACY - JEFFERSON COUNTY YMCA
"The classes are great. A large variety offered at various days and times to fit into multiple schedules. The instructors are outstanding and very helpful. I really like that the instructors will provide alternatives or modifications for individuals with physical limitations so that they can still take the classes."
