One of the group exercise classes that YWCA Central Carolinas offers at our co-ed facility is ‘Love to Lift.’ ‘Love to Lift’ is a no sweat, head to toe body sculpting class for those that hate to lift weights but know they need to. This is a modified class compared to what Starr, our director of fitness, regularly teaches due to the lack of equipment, but is guaranteed to get as close to the real thing!
