Exercise for Everyone

Water, water everywhere!!! It’s not April showers - it’s The Powell Wellness Center in Culpeper, Virginia and their incredible Turttle Pool, lap lanes, exercise pods, therapy pool, and hot tub! Now you have your choice of workout venues! If you enjoy stationery bikes, treadmills, top-of-the line weight equipment then The Powell Wellness Center (PWC) makes that available. Grab your sneakers and your water bottle and enjoy the group fitness classes such cycling, body pump, and yoga lead by excellent fitness instructors! Snow and ice stand aside - now you can reap the benefits of water all year long. If you have dreamed of exercising in the water grab your swim suit and water shoes (available in the PWC pro-shop) and take a walk (or jog) in PWC’s Turttle Pool which is a circular track filled with 3 1/2 feet of water with a constant currant. If you’ve never experienced a workout like this you are in for quite a treat! Exercising in the water is like play time to me and you can work muscle groups that you didn’t know you had! Once you’ve completed a couple of laps in the Turttle Pool, you may also want to do some Deep Water exercise in the Therapy Pool - an incredible way to exercise your legs and hips in a way that is unmatched by any land exercise. To spice up your exercise routine try one of the group water classes such as Splash Power, H2O Burn and Kickboxing! You’ll exercise to great music, make new friends, and get a great cardio and endurance workout! (I’ve heard the Splash Power classes at 5:30 on Monday and Wednesday nights are the place to be!) I wholeheartedly recommend stopping by the Powell Wellness Center for a visit - you’ll be glad you did…Great Exercise Environment, Great Friends, Great Health!!!
