Keep Your Resolutions With Classes From The Casper Rec Center

Every year, we all make resolutions to eat less, work out more, and pretty much change the way we've been living our lives up until now. Sometimes, we even mean it, but, usually, by the end of January, we're back to our old habits.

Thanks to the folks at the Casper Rec Center, you have a chance to shed those unwanted pounds by doing something you actually enjoy - which, of course, will make it much easier to hit your fitness goals for the year:
