Exercise Classes

Stow COA Exercise Classes

Participation in the in-person classes is limited to Stow residents only.  Masks are optional.  Class size is limited. Participants will be required to sign a waiver prior to the first in-person class.

There is an option to participate virtually for Stow residents that prefer virtual participation. Non-residents will be allowed to participate virtually if space permits.

For administrative reasons, the in-person and virtual class sign-ups must be done separately so if you register using MyActiveCenter be sure to select the correct class i.e., “Yoga in person” vs “Yoga virtual”.

Residents can register for classes by using MyActiveCenter (preferred) or contacting the COA (call 978-897-1880 or email COAAdminAsst@Stow-MA.gov). Instructions for MyActiveCenter are provided below.

Non-residents must email (preferred) or call the COA to indicate which specific classes they want to register for.

Participants will be able to register for one month at a time beginning on the 15th of the prior month.  For example, on June 15th, participants can register for classes in July.  Note:  if the 15th falls on a weekend/holiday, registration begins the next business day.  NOTE:  Participants who request COA registration assistance need to specify the dates they wish to register for as the COA does not know which classes a participant’s personal schedule will allow them to participate and payment is due based on registration.

Registrants who are participating in a class virtually will receive an automatically generated zoom link via email approximately 2 hours before the class start time.  It is a different link for each class. If you do not receive the link and believe you should have, please call the COA at 978-897-1880.

For the following exercise classes, the fee per class (in-person or via Zoom) for ALL participants is $3. 

• Senior Fitness (M, W, F at 10 am) 
• Stretch & Flex (M, W, F at 11:15 am)
• Yoga (F at 8:50 am)

The following exercise class is free:

• Qi Gong (M at 8:50 am)

The amount paid should be based on the number classes registered for. Participants must pay in advance for all classes they registered for even if they do not attend. If a class is canceled by the COA after participants register, a credit will be given for that class.

The preferred method of payment is by check payable to the “Town of Stow” with a notation on the memo line indicating which COA exercise class and dates it is for. Currently, we do not accept credit card payments. If you pay by cash, please be sure to obtain a receipt, noting the class and dates paid for. 

Generally, refunds cannot be issued. If a resident registers but is unable to attend classes due to a medical reason, please contact the COA Outreach staff for assistance.
