Especially For Seniors
Senior Strength Training
This class is especially geared towards exercisers aged 50 and above. You will learn how to use the weight training circuit (machines), free weights and cardio equipment. Develop a custom workout to meet your current health needs and fitness goals. Weight training improves muscular strength, balance, and builds bone mass. These, in turn, will enhance the activities of daily living. It’s never too late to start strength training.
Note: This class has a 6-to-1 participant to instructor ratio.
