| Peggy Brower, Owner -
"Years ago, when I lived in Virginia, I had my own pool in my backyard.
I did a lot of swimming and some exercising in the pool. I noticed
something was happening to my body... inches were coming off. I wasn't
even dieting! Then we moved and I didn't have a pool to play in anymore.
The inches came back. Years later, we moved to a tropical island where
once again, I was able to play in the water. This time I met a very
special friend who introduced me to and trained me in water aerobics. I
instantly loved it. We moved again this time to the D.C. area. I continued
teaching and decided to start H2O Fitness.
H2O Fitness has grown to include land based programs to accommodate
people who don't love the water as much as I do. We have classes that can
accommodate both groups and individuals with particular needs.
Come Join Us!!"
