Forever Fit with Judy Whitney–FREE

This program is funded by a generous grant from the Dana Home Foundation. On a scale of 1-10, how fit are you? Many times, we blame difficulty bending, walking upstairs, carrying groceries, weight gain, overall fatigue and slowing down as "getting old" rather than being "out of shape." Just as being “out of shape” can happen at any age, getting back “in shape’ can happen at any age too! Whether your goal is to develop strength, build endurance, improve balance, increase flexibility and agility, reduce stress, we can help you. We use modifications and rely on many fitness disciplines to empower each person to succeed. There are three components to this program: individual assessments, group instruction and working one-to-one with an expert Personal Trainer, skilled in determining the best way to achieve mutually agreed upon goals.

Over the past seven years, the Dana Home Foundation has generously offered this program to empower their senior citizens to learn how to become stronger, healthier and more physically fit. This grant has been renewed again due to the recent successes of its participants. We urge you to seriously consider accepting this gift of wellness to empower you to be Forever Fit!

Classes are Monday and Wednesday at 2:15 pm. One to one sessions will be by appointment only. Register to attend an info meeting with Judy Whitney on April 19th at 2:30 pm, in person or zoom. Forever Fit Class Registration will open after the meeting. For more information please email Judy Whitney: judithawhitney@gmail.com
