Group Exercise Classes

The Auburn-Lewiston YMCA offers a variety of Group Exercise classes to meet the needs of our members. The menu on the right has a schedule of when our group exercise classes are.

Here is a description of our Group Exercise Classes

Step Class: Step class is designed with more advanced choreography, giving you the same great cardiovascular workout.

Step Express: A shorter version of our regular step class (the same impact but in less time)

Yoga: A practice of traditional Hatha Yoga postures that will engage your body and mind in a new way. Yoga can not only improve flexibility, strength, posture, and balance, but also can relieve stress and sharpen your internal focus.

Yoga/Pilates: A combination of traditional Yoga postures combined with the benefits of Pilates.

Pilates: Increase your energy, improve your posture, strengthen, lengthen, and stabilize your core. Pilates can do it all. You may even get a half hour of step at no extra charge.
