Fitness Classes

As people grow older, an active lifestyle is more important than ever.  Regular exercise can help older adults boost energy, maintain independence and manage symptoms of illness and pain.  Senior exercise and fitness tips can even reverse some of the symptoms of aging.  Exercise is not only good for the body, it is good for mind, mood and memory.

Sandel holds a variety of fitness classes every morning designed to improve muscular strength, flexibility, endurance and balance. A chair support is offered in all of our fitness classes to safely perform a variety of seated and standing postures for range of motion. Restorative breathing exercises and final relaxation promotes stress reduction and mental clarity.

The Sandel Center offers classes for all levels of fitness – from “just getting started” to “very challenging”.  All fitness instructors are certified in Older Adult Fitness.  Staff is available to help determine which class will best suit your needs. 

Please check the calendar as class times are subject to change.
