Nature, exercise to combine in fitness classes

    ANSONIA - The Ansonia Nature and Recreation Center will offer a new series of fitness programs starting at 5:30 p.m. Sept. 5.
    Tony Montarro, a fitness instructor with 20 years experience, will lead the classes.
    Montarrro promises participants fun, laughter, exercise and a deep respect for nature as the group moves with it, in it, and becomes one with nature.
    Without using the typical modern equipment join others as the park becomes a gymnasium where participants will improve cardiovascular, strength, balance, flexibility and energy levels.
    The minimum class size is five and the maximum is eight.
    There will be two sessions per week for four weeks, from 5:30 p.m.-7 p.m. Wednesdays and from 9-11 a.m. Saturdays.
    This class is geared for adults and the first class is free. Participants are asked to bring a towel and water.
    Cost is $65 for the eight sessions. Checks should be made payable to the Ansonia Nature and Recreation Center.
    The nature center is at 10 Deerfield Road.
