The popular WorkFit program spring half-session #2 started this week. If you have not registered or need to renew your spring half-session #1, get registered and bring your sweats.

Both Franklin and Kaiser are enjoying the popular Zumba class. If you haven’t tried it, now is the time! WorkFit instructors can accommodate any skill level.

News for Franklin
While the Oakland Marriott City Center completes the remodel of their meeting spaces, the mid-day classes are temporarily located at CSU East Bay at 1000 Broadway (entrance is on the 11th Street side, halfway between Broadway and Franklin). Once again, Kate White and her staff at CSUEB will host the program in Room 1.

New this session is Dawn Patrol Yoga, held Tuesdays and Thursdays from 7 to 7:45 a.m. in Lobby One Conference Room. It’s a nice way to start the day.

At Kaiser, the program continues in the same space on the second floor of the two-story Kaiser Mall building, adjacent to the garage.

The spring session #2 membership fee of $30 allows you to attend as many classes as you wish at either location through the end of the session Friday, April 27. Family and friends (over age 18) are welcome to join for the same low price!
