The start of a new school year brings great opportunities. Not only is it a time to take new classes and meet new people, it’s the perfect time to try new fitness activities such as Aqua Zumba. Aqua Zumba (aka “Pool Party”) is a fun, easy-to-follow, invigorating workout. Inspired by Latin music, this upbeat class is the perfect stress buster and a fantastic way to burn calories. A 45-minute class burns from 300 to 500+ calories. Moreover, it’s free for full-time UPEI students! Anyone who can stand up in shallow water and is inspired by great music will love this class.

From September to December 2019, enjoy 6 weekly classes: Monday at 5:45 pm, Tuesday at 8:00 pm, Wednesday at 5:45 pm, Thursday at 8:00 pm, Friday at 5:45 pm, and Sunday at 9:30 am. For more information contact the Bell Aliant Centre at info@bellaliantcentre.ca or 902-569-4584 ext 0.
