EnhanceFitness

A full hour of fun, dynamic cardiovascular exercise, strength training, and stretching make EnhanceFitness the premier fitness choice for older adults. Classes are taught for one hour three times per week. Based on solid research and tested at over 100 sites around the country. EnhanceFitness focuses on stretching, flexibility, balance, low impact aerobics, and strength training exercises — everything health professionals say we need to maintain health and function as we grow older. Participant progress is measured with fitness checks given in 4 month intervals.

EnhanceFitness is proven to:

• Increase strength. People who regularly attend class grow stronger, improve their balance, and become more limber.
• Boost activity levels. Even the unfit quickly find themselves able to do the things they want to do safely and independently.
• Elevate mood. Research shows that exercise can help prevent depression, and EnhanceFitness participants say they feel better physically and emotionally.

This low-cost, evidence-based exercise program helps older adults at all levels of fitness become more active, energized, and empowered to sustain independent lives.
