PARTICIPANTS Q&AS
Q: What exactly is Z-Box?
A: We all know incorporating a workout routine on a regular basis increases your vitality, energy levels, mental outlook, and most importantly your overall health.

The class will end with relaxation movements (that mimics Tai Chi).
Q: What fitness level do I have to be to do Z-Box?
