Water Walking
Walking in waist-deep water lessens weight on joints by 50% compared with walking on land.

Cycling – Recumbent Bike
A recumbent bike, which supports your back with your legs extended, is a low-impact option for an effective lower body workout.

Pilates
Pilates movements lengthen your body which may help relieve soreness. Stretching is thought to help with blood flow and the delivery of nutrients to muscles and tendons. Better circulation may also serve to relieve aches and stiffness. Subtle improvements in posture may also result in fewer aches and pains.

Tai Chi
This mind-body martial art improves balance and reduces stress and arthritis pain.

If you have arthritis, our personal trainers can create a plan that is safe and effective when you purchase a training package. To learn more about personal training, please visit the Member Services desk.
