Madonna Palladino has been attending our fitness classes for more than ten years, and Sydney Holly’s yoga class for seven years. Why does she choose Edina Community Ed? “I come because I can ride my bike here. I also come because I enjoy attending classes with my daughter, now 20. So many fitness places are all young people.
