Fitness Classes for OSPN: Starting Sat, Sep 13

Details

Regular physical activity is especially important for seniors, helping to improve balance, mobility, and strength — and reducing the risk of falls. The benefits go beyond the physical: staying active supports mental clarity, emotional well-being, and overall quality of life.

Our programs are designed with older adults in mind, offering safe, effective, and enjoyable ways to move your body and boost your health. All classes will be taught by a Personal Trainer or Yoga Teacher with specialization in fitness for older adults. We hope to see you there.

All equipment will be provided. You are welcome to bring your own mat, blocks, strap etc. Classes will be capped at 10 participants.

Participant's will need to complete the PAR-Q form (The Physical Activity Readiness Questionnaire for Everyone) prior to their first class if they have not completed one in the last 12 months.

To reserve your spot email Sarah Rea at: srea@thegoodcompaions.ca
