Gentle Fitness Classes offer a safe and supportive environment for individuals seeking low to moderate intensity exercise. These programs are designed to maintain and improve strength, balance, and overall wellness. Led by certified instructors with specialized training, classes are tailored to meet varying ability levels. Participants benefit from modified exercises that reduce pain and enhance mobility.

  • Level 1 classes are mostly seated, with some standing balance work. The focus is on posture and fall prevention.
  • Level 2 classes offer a choice of seated or standing activities. The focus is on functional capacity and independence.
  • Level 3 classes are active and on-your-feet. The focus is on active, low-impact movement.
