Recommended Group Fitness Classes for Seniors
Silver Sneakers Classes
Move through a variety of exercises (with the help of music!) that are designed to increase muscle strength and range of movement for daily living. Handheld weights, elastic tubing with handles, and a Silver Sneakers ball are all available for resistance. The Silver Sneakers Classic class focuses on building and strengthening your balance, coordination, agility, and speed with the help of resistance tools and weights.
*If you have an insurance plan, your insurance will notify you if you’re eligible to become a member of a gym that accepts Silver Sneakers.
Pilates Classes
Pilates is a low-impact exercise that’s excellent for older adults and active seniors. Because it’s a mind-body exercise, pilates can help decrease chronic pain, reduce stress, blood pressure and heart rate and improve mood.
Our Pilates classes build coordination, improve posture, joint mobility and flexibility and can sometimes help relieve physical pain, including back pain. Practicing Pilates consistently provides a fantastic total body workout that’s suitable for any fitness level and promotes healthy aging routines and a better quality of life through regular physical activity.
Gentle Yoga Classes
The slower pace of Gentle Yoga makes it a great choice for those wanting a less strenuous approach to yoga. These relaxing classes incorporate deep breathing and stretching, and are incredibly therapeutic for both mind and body. Soothing music, breathing, rejuvenating postures, and deep relaxation combine for a full-body refresh. Whether it’s your first class or you’re an experienced senior yogi, Gentle Yoga is a rejuvenating, restorative experience.
Essentrics Classes
Essentrics is a full-body stretch workout that focuses on mobility, flexibility, and pain relief. Slow, therapeutic stretches work to reduce joint stiffness and leave you pain-free, energized, and balanced through a combination of Tai Chi, Aerobics, Ballet, and Physical Therapy.
Essentrics engages all 650 muscles in the body using the flowing movements of tai chi and healing principles of physiotherapy, and in a 60-minute class, there are about 13 pre-choreographed routines using music.
Tai Chi Classes
Tai chi is an ancient healing art with self-defense aspects. People have been practicing it for hundreds of years for purpose of longevity and health benefits. Its gentle movements and mindful practices are ideal for anyone, but especially so for seniors who are looking for a less strenuous way to exercise.
Other fantastic benefits include strengthening cognitive function and memory, improving balance, improving muscle strength and quality of life, and boosting the immune system.
