Ehrlich Bariatrics Introduces Water Zumba Class for Bariatric Patients

We are very excited to announce that we are able to introduce a Water Zumba Class for our bariatric patients! What could be more fun than combining the great rhythms of Zumba and the benefits of exercise in the water? Water programs are great, since they are non-weight bearing and therefore are gentle to painful joints. Water fitness can improve strength, flexibility, cardiovascular health, decrease body fat, facilitate rehabilitation after surgery, improve functional living and even enhance other sports skills. But most importantly, you should feel comfortable in the environment. You do not need to be a swimmer, since the class will be held in the shallow end, but you need to feel comfortable in the water. The Shelton Community Center Pool will open a class just for our patients to ensure the most conducive environment.
The class is starting next weekend, on February 5th and pre-registration is required, as the class is limited to the first 20 patients. The class will be held every Sunday morning at 8:30 AM to 9:30 AM and will run through April 1st (there will be no class on March 4th). The cost for the class is $75 for Shelton residents and $80 for nonresidents (wow, can you believe it?). If interested, please register at:
Shelton Community Center
41 Church Street

We are very excited to be able to work with the Shelton Community Center. Please let us know if you were able to sign up for the class or if you had difficulty doing so due to class size limitation. We do not want to exclude anyone and would love to offer more classes if the need arises. Let’s do this and have some fun in the pool!
