It’s never too late to feel great! Our Active Older Adult (AOA) program is for men and women in their 50’s, 60’s, 70’s, 80’s, 90’s and 100’s!

Water Group Exercise Classes:
Water group exercise classes are a wonderful alternative to “land” exercises. With water exercise, there is less impact on your joints, but you still receive the same cardiovascular workout as you would if you were doing it on “land.” All fitness levels and non-swimmers are welcome!

Mind Exercise
It's just as important to keep the mind healthy as it is to keep the muscles moving. This class provides older adults with the tools to brainstorm and develop creative thinking.
