Classes starting at Park West in late summer 2025!

Little Fitness Adventures: Toddlers and young children need to explore all aspects of movement to promote, including balancing, rolling, going upside down, using new equipment, and dancing to different beats! Guided by an experienced teacher, we celebrate and practice all of these skills and more in our signature Little Fitness Adventures class! With a mixture of age-appropriate movement songs, tactile and gross motor games, and sensory activities, our students get their wiggles out while learning! Adults and children, please come wearing clothes that are easy to move in as adult participation is required. We can't wait to meet you and your little movers!
