With classes conveniently scheduled through MindBody Online, residents can view upcoming sessions and sign up for classes to stay active and meet some fellow residents at the same time.


Past and present events include Yoga & Breakfast, where residents meet at one of our properties’ common areas, like a rooftop or sky lounge, for a professional-led morning class followed by a catered breakfast. Another event we’ve hosted is a pickleball clinic, where residents can learn how to play the sport and compete against the rest of the group! We also partner with local businesses to offer exclusive deals, including complimentary fitness classes and trials.
