AquaFit at the Y

Our goal is to provide easy and alternative modes of exercise for everyone. That’s why we are one of the few places in San Francisco that offer water aerobics as part of our Group Exercise schedule. With two pools to choose from, our invigorating and community-oriented classes will give you the fun and motivation that you want with low to medium impact.
