Community-Focused Fitness for Seniors

Regular physical activity is one of the most important things an older adult can do to maintain and improve their overall well-being and quality of life. The research is extensive and conclusive: physically active adults are happier, demonstrate greater cognitive function, suffer fewer chronic diseases, and enjoy greater independence later in life.

MAC is blessed to have a vital and vibrant community of seniors and is committed to doing everything possible to keep them moving, building friendships, and enjoying life to the fullest. MAC looks for myriad opportunities to engage senior members in both social and athletic events, but for sheer “bang for your buck,” group exercise classes are an incredible way to foster a sense of community and emotional support while also improving physical health.

The club is proud to offer a wide variety of amazing classes for its most respected older members. All group exercise classes are open and welcoming, but the ones below are among the most accessible. Members are always welcome to observe a class before participating, or speak with MAC’s Fitness Concierge for more guidance or information about these sessions.

Water Fitness

With the much-anticipated Sun Deck Pool renovation happening this fall, the pool is set to close from Sept. 15 through May 2025. Fortunately, most Sun Deck Pool water fitness programming has been relocated to the West Pool to minimize disruption and ensure members can still have access to many of the classes they love.

Additionally, the Fitness & Aquatics teams have purchased stairs to be placed in the West Pool, making pool access easier for those who are unable to use the ladder.

The fall water fitness class schedule, which takes effect Sept. 16, is below. Classes are in the West Pool unless otherwise noted.
