eeping fit helps us look and feel our best. Some of the many benefits of a regular exercise program include: lower blood pressure; stronger bones, heart and lungs; flexibility of joints, ligaments and tendons; increased muscle tone; controlled appetite and better digestion; improved sleep; stress relief; more active lifestyle and sense of well being.
People who make exercise part of their routine are less likely to suffer fractures and better able to fight illness and disease. The greatest benefit to staying active is the possibility of adding years to your life - and life to your years!
Our Fitness Center is staffed by three certified personal trainers who tailor an individualized strength training program for each resident. Through a gentle to moderate exercise program geared to their level of fitness, personal goals and preferences, the resident can reach their potential for good health and overall well being.
Join a group for fun and the support of friends - tai chi, hatha yoga, low impact aerobics, seated chair exercises, walking club, barbells, basketball practice, joints in motion, water walking and water aerobics meet regularly. Our classes improve strength, flexibility, balance and endurance to help each participant stay healthy and independent. And a fit body has a positive effect on emotional wellness and stability.
Our Fitness Center features state-of-the-art strength training equipment, an airy and bright aerobics room and a 20’ x 40’ indoor heated lap pool. More residents participate in our mind and body fitness program than any other activity at The Village, where Fitness is a Way of Life.
