Experience BOGAFiT: High-Intensity Water Fitness in Marshall
Take your fitness routine off the gym floor and onto the water. BOGAFiT is an innovative program that uses a floating FiTMAT to build core strength, deepen flexibility, and improve coordination.
By performing traditional movements on a moving surface, you intensify the workout while eliminating the harsh impact on your joints. It is the ultimate high-intensity, low-impact challenge right here in Marshall.

Host a BOGAFiT Party at the Y
Looking for a unique way to celebrate in Lyon County? BOGAFiT parties are perfect for bachelorette parties, family events, or corporate team building.
Whether you want a high-energy structured class led by our instructor, Alexis, or a relaxed "open play" session for your group to explore the boards, we provide a safe and splash-filled environment. A certified lifeguard is always on duty to ensure everyone stays safe while having fun.
Party Options & Pricing
- Small Group (Up to 6 people): $450 for a 60-minute private session.
- Large Group (7–12 people): $450 base price + $20 per person over six. This is a 90-minute session.
Note on Safety: To ensure everyone's safety, we only allow 6 boards in the pool at one time. Large groups will be split into two 45-minute sessions so everyone gets time on the water.
