Do you want to get Fit, Fun & Fully Alive?
Fitness Classes for Older Adults in Whitewater and Admaston-Bromley Regions
Live a healthy, independent life; continue your favorite hobbies like golf, gardening or curling with more flexibility and less pain; prevent falls and recover from injuries or a fall more quickly; the list goes on and on! Curious about this amazing remedy? It’s regular, physical activity that you can enjoy with your peers through classes designed with your safety and needs in mind.
Nine of our classes are “Heart Wise” according to the Ottawa Heart Institute criteria and are led by instructors trained to use the on-site AEDs (Automated External Defibrillators). These classes can safely include people with heart disease or those concerned about their heart health. Look for the “Heart Wise” symbol!
Our Fit, Fun & Fully Alive! Fitness classes are led by instructors certified through the Canadian Centre of Activity and Aging at the University of Western Ontario. Class participants are encouraged to work at their own pace in group classes that include the following class components:
- Warm-up
- Cardiovascular conditioning (self-paced walking)
- Cool-down
- Muscle strengthening and balance
- Stretching and relaxation
We have classes for all ability levels which are offered at 8 different locations including: Cobden, Beachburg, Westmeath, La Passe, and Foresters Falls. Most classes begin Sept. 6th. Registration forms and information are available:
- on-line at http://www.wbchc.on.ca/ProgramsServices/fffa.htm
- at the Beachburg Office of the Community Health Centre, 20 Robertson Dr.
- by calling 613-582-3685 (Beachburg)
The more you move, the better you feel to live longer, healthier and more independently. Our instructors look forward to welcoming you to the classes this fall!
