EnhanceFitness® is developed specifically for older adults, with exercises focusing on four key areas important to your health and fitness: stretching and flexibility; low impact aerobics; strength training; and balance. You can join us no matter what your current level of fitness is because we offer seated and standing exercise options. This is no average fitness class! EnhanceFitness® is an evidence-based program backed by years of research, which means it is scientifically proven to: • Improve strength and balance
A Matter of Balance Upcoming Classes A Matter of Balance (MOB) is specifically designed to reduce the fear of falling and improve activity levels of older adults. The program includes eight two-hour classes presented to a small group of 8-12 participants led by trained coaches. The program enables participants to reduce the fear of falling by learning to view falls as controllable, setting goals for increasing activity levels, making small changes to reduce fall risks at home, and exercise to increase strength and balance.
• Increase flexibility • Boost activity levels • Improve mood • Help prevent falls
