BOOMERS, ZOOMERS and BEYOND!
Would you feel more comfortable exercising at home with a live in-person trainer/coach, via Zoom, rather than attending a class or the wellness center? We have the perfect solution for you: the Baird Wellness Center offers weight training, cardio, body weight circuit, balance, boot camp, yoga, wellness coaching and flexibility/ mobility sessions. Choose the workout(s) you prefer, and you will be guided virtually by a live trainer who will provide you with instant feedback. Minimal to no equipment is necessary, depending on the session(s) you choose. A computer or tablet would be optimal for your sessions. TESTIMONY FROM A ZOOM CLIENT:
“I am a severely immune compromised resident, and being able to meet with my trainer virtually makes my whole week. Zoom coaching allows me to stay well, in my own home, and gives me an opportunity to work out just like I would in the wellness center. Even my dog gets to participate in my trainings.”
$23 PER SESSION $207 PER 10-PACK.
Length of session is dependent on workout chosen but will generally run 45 – 60 minutes. Call the Baird Wellness Center to register at ext. 33783 or 717-361-5699
