Group Exercise
The Old Colony YMCA offers an array of group exercise classes to help our members reach their fitness goals, while making friends and having fun in a group setting. From spinning to yoga, every member, regardless of age or fitness level, can find group fitness classes at our branches to benefit from.
20-20-20
Three classes in one: 20 minutes of step, 20 minutes of floor aerobics, and 20 minutes of core-conditioning/cool-down. Floor aerobics may consist of low/high impact activities at different intensities (even sprinkled from time to time with a few easy to follow dance-style moves). You'll be jammin' to the tunes in this fun class.
Boot Camp
Fun work, hard play! An exercise format that is sure to rev up the most avid exercisers. This class may involve running, jogging, high-impact activities, and resistance training to exercise the entire body. Class may be conducted inside or outside depending on weather. Prepare to sweat.

Falun Dafa
A class that can consist of 5 simple, yet powerful exercises that include four standing positions and one sitting meditation. These exercises, in combination with the refinement of one's inner nature, are the path for reaching improvements in health and a deepened spiritual awareness. The practice is based on the universal principals of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance. This class is not an aerobic workout.
Integrated Circuit
A great workout that allows one to achieve the benefits of cardiovascular exercise and strength in the same session. Never get bored because content varies during class and from class to class.

All the benefits/intensity of cardio-kickboxing and more. This class combines kickbox aerobics and body conditioning skills to get you to your fitness goals. Kick! Punch! Have a blast!
Low Impact Basics
Intimidated by aerobic classes but want to try? This beginner class teaches you basic terminology and movements and takes you through a guided workout with hopes of giving you the confidence to take other classes. Movements are varied and change from class to class. Resistance training is also touched upon in this class.
Muscle Mania
This class focuses on muscle conditioning without the intimidation and hustle of the weight room setting. Exercises revolve around the use of bodybars, dynabands, resistance tunes and partners. It is recommended that partcipants warm-up on their own before entering each class. This is not an aerobic workout.

PiYo
This class is a fusion style flexibility workout combining pilates, yoga, dance and strength in a flowing environment. This blend of pilates and yoga includes modifications for the group exercise environment, yet offers challenges to all levels of participants.
Spinning
A group exercise experience on specially designed stationary bikes unlike any other in the fitness room. The intensity of the workout is regulated by the instructor and by the amount of resistance you apply to the flywheel. You have the freedom to make your workout as challenging as you want. This class may be worth to try if you like to cycle. Hope you enjoy the ride! (Class space is limited and awarded on a first come/first serve basis starting 1 hour prior to class. Class may extend a little past scheduled ending time due to set-up and clean-up of bikes.)
Step-N-Sculpt
A fun-filled workout focused around the step. Steps are combined with arm gestures to increase large-muscle movements and burn more fat. Each class concludes with a muscle-scuplting component. Times goes by fast when you are having fun!
