Exercise

Our Exercise Programs are Top Notch! We have added the Life Fitness Circuit Series for strength training and two NuStep TRS 4000s, two TechnoGym Excite Jog treadmills, and a TechnoGym Crossover 700 for cardiovascular fitness. Schwinn Airdyne bikes are also available. Orientation classes to use the equipment are held with a certified exercise instructor prior to using the equipment. After an orientation session to the equipment, members are welcome to use the equipment anytime during Senior Center hours. Participants must fill out a liability form which is available from the instructor or the office. We encourage participants starting a new exercise routine to have a discussion with their physician prior to using the equipment, and provide a Physicians Release listing the equipment available. This form may be kept by the participants.
