Find Local Exercise Classes

Whether you're already active or looking to start, community-based exercise classes are a fantastic way to maintain and enhance your strength, balance, and overall health.

These classes, which often cover activities like aerobic exercises, tai chi, dancing, or bowls, are enjoyable and tailored to older adults.

Beyond the fitness benefits, joining an exercise class boosts your social interactions, providing opportunities for new friendships and shared motivation. A group dynamic can also help keep you motivated and committed to your goals.
