Start your week off right with One & Done: A Monday Reset! 🧘‍♀️💪

If you loved our Strength, Stretch & Stillness classes, you'll feel right at home. We’ve combined the best elements of previous classes into one well-rounded, 60-minute total body workout once a week.

In just one hour, you’ll work head-to-toe with strength, balance, mobility, flexibility, core work, and finish with a few relaxing minutes to slow down, breathe, and reset. No complicated routines—just everything your body needs to kick off the week feeling strong!

Program Details:
📅 When: Mondays in October (10/5, 10/12, 10/19, 10/26)
⏰ Time: 9:00 AM – 10:00 AM
📍 Location: Portage Park & Rec (401 Cemetery Rd.)
💵 Cost: $4 for Residents / $5 for Non-Residents

Whether you're returning or joining us for the first time, this class is designed to help you move better, build strength, and feel great in your body.
