The Pool
Another place we offer low-impact workout classes is in our heated, indoor pool! Water aerobics and other group activities in the pool allows seniors to strengthen muscles and improve cardiovascular health. Another great option is water walking, which can improve balance and flexibility while reducing the risk of injury. The buoyancy of the water reduces stress on joints and muscles, making it an ideal form of exercise for those with arthritis or other mobility issues. Additionally, the resistance of the water can help seniors build strength and endurance without putting excessive strain on their bodies. If you love the water, this option is for you!
The Fitness Center
Motivation to hit the gym is a whole lot easier when all you have to do is walk down the hall! The fitness center at Friendship Village offers state-of-the-art equipment to help residents stay active and healthy. With a variety of cardio machines, free weights, and more, there is something for everyone to enjoy and benefit from.
Dance Classes
Our dance classes are a fun and enjoyable option for active and social seniors. Not only do these classes provide a great workout for the mind and body, but they also offer a great way to have fun and make new friends.
