Active Living Every Day is an active living class that doesn’t involve exercise. Instead of exercising in class, participants learn how to incorporate being active into their daily lives. The class will discuss how to overcome personal barriers to physical activity, how to set realistic goals, and how to stay motivated.
Geri-Fit is a 45 minute video-led strength training exercise class for older adults. Most of the body building exercises are performed seated in chairs with a set of light dumbbell weights. As you become stronger, you can advance to heavier dumbbells in order to challenge yourself even more. Enrollment is open to older adults of all ages and fitness levels, simply work out at your own pace!
