Programs & Classes

All Iowa Lakes Community College students may attend fitness classes for free as a drop-in.

Our fitness classes are for all levels and abilities. We encourage everyone to work at their own pace. 

Evening Water Aerobics

Want a great aerobic and strength training workout with zero impact on your joints? Break free from your regular routine and jump in.  You can strengthen muscles and joints naturally when you use the resistance of the water against your body and aqua fitness accessories during exercises. 

Lite & Easy Water Fitness

A little less intense, but still a great workout! An aerobic portion followed by toning, strengthening and stretching. Non-swimmers are welcome.

Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays: 9:00 am - 9:50 am

Spinning Classes

Very Popular!!! Spinning Classes allow you to stay within a comfortable exercise zone for your fitness level, but still feel like you're "keeping up" with the class. You will be burning about 7.2 to 13.6 calories per minute and toning your legs at the same time. Spinning is also a great way to strengthen your glutes, thighs, and calves. 

Are you interested getting your diet back on track? Consider taking a personal nutrition and eating assessment through our trained and knowledgeable wellness professionals. 

You will: 

• learn proper nutrition and how to make healthy choices.
• learn how many calories you should eat according to your needs.
• keep a food journal.
