​Exercise Classes - A start to a healthier you!

Being physical active can help you stay strong and fit enough to keep doing the things you like to do.  Making exercise and physical activity a regular part of your life can improve your health and help you maintain your independence as you age.

The Seniors' Service Center offers several exercise choices to fit your schedule, interest, and ability. Once you have paid for classes (see below), no need to sign up for them individually.  Just show up and get healthy!

​Cost
The Center charges a $10/month fee for members participating in our various exercise classes.  Non-members are charged $20/month. The fee is the same regardless of the number of classes taken during the week or month.  The fee for member couples is $15/month. Prepayment is possible with the following discounts:  Six (6) months - $50.  Twelve (12) months - $100.  Prepayments are non-refundable. New members will receive the first month free of charge so they can try out any of the classes.  Members with limited financial resources are encouraged to visit with Center staff to discuss options.
