What levels of classes do you offer?
Our classes are open to everyone; from the beginner to the individual with years of experience. Classes are divided according to age/experience level. We currently offer classes for students as young as 3 years old and all the way up through high school! If a student would like to try an older age group based on their experience and skills, this can be discussed with the program director.
Do you offer adult classes?
Over 25 adult classes are offered throughout the week in Zumba, Pilates, Yoga, Cardio, Sculpt and Tone, and much more. Many classes are offered simultaneously with our youth program, making it convenient for parents to exercise while their child is in class. Discounts are offered for parents with children enrolled in our dance/pom classes. Please visit
www.midamericanfit.com for more information.
Are boys allowed to take classes?
YES — boys are invited to participate in any class that we offer.

If I sign up online, do I create a profile for myself (parent), or my child?
You will want to create an account for your child. The class roster and other information is generated from these profiles, so you will want it to be in your child’s name.
Do parents get to watch the students while they are in class?
All 4 full-size studios are equipped with closed-circuit, real time cameras which allow parents to watch the entire class on our large-screen monitors from the comfort of the lobby. Parents and friends are also invited into the classroom during Parent Viewing Week to watch our latest routines. Except for during Parent Viewing Week, we ask that only our instructors and registered students are in the classrooms during class to keep distractions to a minimum.
