About Our Classes
The Ohio State Center for Wellness and Prevention, located at the Morehouse Medical Plaza, offers warm-water pool classes to support your weight loss and weight management journey.
Warm Water Classes are designed to help reduce pain and increase strength and functionality for individuals with arthritis or other musculoskeletal problems. Instructors can provide alternative exercises if an exercise is too hard or causes discomfort or pain.
Classes are held in a pool with warm water temperature and a 3-1/2-to-5-foot depth. Wide stairs with handrails are available for pool entrance/exit. Due to the temperature of the water, classes are focused on range of motion, muscle strength and flexibility. Higher levels of aerobic activity are not encouraged.
Note: A physician’s referral is necessary to join the warm-water pool program. You must be able to enter and exit the pool on your own, as one-on-one water instruction or assistance is not provided.
