Health & Fitness
Physical activity is important for everyone, regardless of age. Exercise doesn't have to mean working out at the gym or running marathons; it can be as simple as parking the car farther away from the store or doing seated leg lifts during TV commercials. If you are one of the many adults who have difficulty finding motivation to work out, join our group exercise classes and get inspired by your instructor and exercise teammates!
Here at the Center, we offer many different group exercise classes and have a state-of-the-art gym with brand new EGYM equipment that members can utilize to meet any health and fitness goals. You can also meet with one of our Wellness Coaches to help you get started with your fitness plan.
Learn more about our Class Schedules, Class Descriptions, and Gym below.
Why Physical Activity?
There are a number of reasons why seniors should incorporate physical activity into their daily life, including:
- Exercise boosts your mood and often reduces symptoms of depression
- Increase in bone mass which reduces the risk of osteoporosis and fractures
- Improved cardiovascular health = more energy to play with grandchildren, walk the dog, or take part in excursions/trips
- Reduces risk of chronic diseases such as diabetes and heart disease
- Improved muscle strength and balance which reduces risk of falling
- Socialization - create friendships during group exercise classes
We offer all types of classes on a weekly basis including Active Aging Strength, Balance & Strength*, Pilates, Yoga, Line Dancing, Zumba & more!
Our gym features treadmills, a recumbent bike, a row machine, an elliptical and several weight machines. We have nine EGYM weight machines with state-of-the-art technology that provide you with a guided, safe, and effective workout experience. Our Center is the only place in our area to have this equipment. Learn more about the EGYM equipment here.
