MOVING FOR BETTER BALANCE

Moving for Better Balance is a fall prevention program that uses the principles and movements of Tai Chi to help older adults improve their balance, mobility and increase their confidence in doing everyday activities. Taught by a YMCA Certified Instructor, you will learn low impact postures and movements along with stretching and breathing exercises.

PILATES/YOGA FUSION

Fused elements of Pilates and yoga for a balanced strength and flexibility workout.

SENIOR CYCLING

Join us for a fun and friendly senior indoor cycling class. The benefits of cycling are immense! Cycling generates stronger heart and lung capacity and lessens the chance of incurring coronary artery disease. It also builds muscle in the quadriceps, glutes, hamstrings and calf muscles, and that muscle strength radiates out and affects neighboring tendons, ligaments and bones. Cycling can even improve balance and coordination and reduce blood pressure. All this while going at your own pace! Must be comfortable getting on and off a stationary bike.

SENIOR PILATES REFORMER

Many older adults find that their balance, flexibility and endurance have diminished over time. A regular Pilates practice can help these issues, and many older adults are amazed at the improvement in core strength and endurance they experience after just a few classes. Plus, this is a great class to meet new friends. Check here for more details.

WATER EXERCISE

Excellent for strength training and increasing endurance without the impact of land. Ability to swim is not necessary. Each pool’s fitness class times are unique from each other so please try them all to see which one fits your schedule and ability.

YOGA FLOW

Breathing, movement, strength, flexibility and balance. Some familiarity of yoga postures are needed for this class.

ZUMBA® GOLD

ZUMBA® Gold is a less intense version of the original Zumba class with dance routines designed for beginners and older adults.
