Aqua Classes
Here in sunny Southern California we are blessed with beautiful weather.
At Shirlee’s, you can work out in our outdoor pool, which we keep heated year round. Near the pool is an even warmer jacuzzi. We also have a custom built, cedar dry sauna for dry heat. The pool is available for both individual use and group classes (schedule). Aqua instructors, who are certified, make water workout a blast.
