"This place is a gem! I had no idea they had free aerobics, zumba and yoga clases. I have done every class and it's awesome. There's also an art class for kids ages 5-17 and my two youngest attend those while I attend the exercise classes. There's also GED clases and not sure what else but it's become one of my kid's and I favorite places."
