9 Participant Feedback: This is just a quick note to tell you how great the small group classes are. Because of the limited class size, you get personal attention from the trainer while working at your own pace. The class I am in has a very good balance of cardiac, agility, strength, and flexibility exercises. I would encourage all to participate. -Bill I firmly believe that I have become a better runner because of my cross-training with the assistance of Lisa Kulnis and the Small Group Training classes I have taken. The training has improved my core and cardiovascular fitness to the point where I can now confidently run 10-mile races and half marathons. -Pat World Tai Chi Day 2016 Thank you to the 100+ members and guests who participated in WGR's World Tai Chi Day festivities!
