Kihei Deep Water Aerobics with Sara Zfit is Alive and Well

It has been four years since I first attended Sara Zfit's deep water aerobics at the Kihei Aquatic Center in Maui.  Since then the class has grown considerably and Sara has added music to the workout which makes it even more fun than before.  She also now has a mic system so noone has any problems hearing the instructions for each exercise. Classes are every Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 10:30 to 11:30. Everyone is welcome from locals, to visitors to snowbirds so it is interesting to meet people from all over the world.

  For people who want a more intense workout, with fewer people, Sara now offers an advanced class every Wednesday from 11:45 to 12:20, right after the regular class.

The Kihei Aquatic Center is located at the top of Lipoa street in Central Kihei.  Fee for the classes are by donation, as Sara does not get paid for this by the county.  Suggested donation is $5.00 per class.

Sara Zfit is also a certified personal trainer and a certified group fitness instructor.  She gives personal training sessions at her home based gym, and instructs belly dancing, a Chi Stretch Class and a Silver Chi Fit class at the new Exergy35 Fitness Studio in the Island Sands Building on South Kihei Road.

5 Good Reasons to Attend Kihei Deep Water Aerobics

The Water Aerobics Gang

You may remember a blog written two years ago about Sara Zander's water aerobics class at the Kihei Aquatic Centre. The class is still alive and well and now every session is in deep water. I love the class and would like to share my reasons for attending.

1. Sara Zander is a trained instructor and brings a lot of experience to the class. She always gives 3 levels of difficulty for each exercise and pays attention to each individual's special needs.

2. Deep water aerobics is a complete body workout and Sara cleverly incorporates Yoga, Pilates, Aerobics and Stretch into each session. She also demonstrates each exercise to ensure we are doing it properly.

3. The class is lots of fun, and provides an opportunity to meet new people and make new friends. I personally have made tons of friends in this class.

4. The latest addition of music during the class makes it even more enjoyable and Sara's sense of humor with her asides and little jokes, are both delightful and contagious.

5. The time goes by so fast you don't even realize that you are getting in shape without the pain of other forms of exercise.

If you want to get in shape the fun way, try out Sara's class and see what you think. Deep water aerobics are Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 10:30 to 11:30 AM at the Kihei Aquatic Center on Lipoa Street in Central Maui (just before the highway). Cost is by donation. Both men and women are welcome. Locals, snowbirds and tourists attend the class so numbers and faces are ever-changing.

If Sara for some reason can't make a class, her vivacious side kick Sunny, is happy to take over and lead us through the exercises.
