Becoming Fit Just Became More Fun!
EnhanceFitness® makes becoming fit more fun! It is a one-hour group fitness class, designed specifically for older adults, that is led by encouraging instructors who create a welcoming atmosphere. EnhanceFitness® includes four classes in one to improve endurance, balance, strength, and flexibility.
Who Should Attend?
EnhanceFitness® classes are specifically designed for adults age 60+ regardless of ability or fitness level. Exercises are modified so they can be completed either sitting or standing.
EnhanceFitness® will help you
- improve endurance, balance, strength, and flexibility.
- be more active.
- prevent falls.
Anyone who wants to improve their endurance, balance, strength, and flexibility is encouraged to attend. Those with chronic conditions such as diabetes, high blood pressure, or arthritis, as well as those who want to relieve feelings of depression or anxiety, will experience many benefits from attending an EnhanceFitness® class. Best of all, the class is for those who want a casual environment that encourages participants to have fun while they exercise!

Feldenkrais $6
The Feldenkrais method asks you to take the effort out of your movements. You are invited to explore different ways of moving while slowing down enough to sense the process. Feldenkrais attention is directed to the movement of the joints. The small movements almost magically release areas of tension to allow the joints to move more freely. Tightness held for years in habitual patterns may be set free. Feldenkrais is taught in lessons. Each week the lesson is new so that your body does not go into an automatic response.
Wednesdays at 4:00 p.m.
