Fitness instructor Mandi King and The Bellevue Hospital are teaming together to offer a variety of Fitness Classes at the Bellevue Recreation Center Shelter House, located at 110 Cherry Blvd. The Shelter House is located directly behind Mil’Lympic Swimming Pool.
“My goal is to expand these classes to include more variety for the participants, so they are challenged physically and realize more of a change in their fitness levels,” commented King. “All classes are open to the public – men, women and children.”
King is a certified health educator, personal trainer, and group fitness instructor. She has been teaching fitness classes for the past eight years. The class lineup will include:

SENIOR AEROBICS: Senior Friends for Fitness Classes, suited for those ages 55 and older, are held on Mondays and Wednesdays from 9:00-9:45 a.m. These classes feature a warm-up period, low impact aerobics, stretching, and a cool-down period.
KICKBOXING: A cardio kickboxing class featuring punches, kicks, strength training and cardio moves. This class meets Tuesdays and Thursdays from 6-7 p.m.
INTERVAL TRAINING: Uses strength and resistance bands to increase strength and flexibility, and aerobic exercise to increase cardiovascular endurance and reduce body fat. The class is held on Saturdays from 8:15-9:45 a.m.
Participants for any of these classes are encouraged to consult their family physician before joining any exercise program.
Class fees are $3 per class or 12 classes for $30.
