Aerobics and Fitness

Group Exercise Classes

The Galleon Centre offers over 70 classes each week in our Fitness and Exercise programme.  Classes are not particularly aimed at beginners, intermediates and advanced etc as most of the workouts can be modified for the various levels of fitness in each individual participant.  It must be borne in mind however that whilst regular exercise will always be promoted and encouraged among the younger generations, (under 16’s) many of the classes on offer are more suited to adults.

All instructors have different strengths, styles and teaching techniques so what you experience in one class will not necessarily be the same with another instructor.

The Centre provides a wide range of group exercise classes and whilst not every class will be suitable for every individual we feel the programme does offer something for everyone.
