In addition to the FREE Chair Aerobics and Cardio-Boost classes each week, we also offer three 'well-rounded' exercise classes, to offer more variety and schedule options.  The Friends of the BCOA subsidize these three classes, so they are reduced to $3 per class, instead of the regular $5 per class.
