Group Exercise

Bac_healthlines_medium The Bronson Athletic Club offers a variety of group exercise (group-x) classes. Most group-x classes are offered free to members and don't require pre-registration, with the exception of the Spinning^® classes.

Our group-x classes are held in two studios equipped with shock-reducing maple floors. We also have additional specialized studios dedicated to Pilates and Spinning^®.

We offer a variety of water fitness classes in both our lap pool and our warmer water exercise pool. Water fitness is a great option for those looking for a low-impact workout that is gentle on their joints.
