TRX Class
Instructor: Staci Fiddler

TRX suspension training is a great way to build strength, improve mobility, increase cardiovascular endurance and develop core stability by utilizing adjustable straps and bodyweight exercises. It is a great way to get a full-body workout, but it is also low-impact and joint-friendly!

With TRX, older adults can try new exercises without the fear of topping over. The device provides a dynamic point of stability. TRX exercises promote balance, core strengthening, and muscle retention, while decreasing the risk of falling in the elderly and reducing the risk of Osteoporosis-related fractures.

Chair Yoga
Instructor: Staci Fiddler

What is Chair Yoga good for? Chair Yoga allows seniors and those with mobility issues or disabilities to stay active and improve their muscle strength and flexibility without the risk of strain or injury. The gentle progression of the Chair Yoga sequences is ideal for those with limited range of motion.

Example: Chair Yoga allows you to perform yoga poses while seated or using a chair for balance. Chair-based yoga offers the same benefits as traditional yoga, such as boosting strength, flexibility, and mental well-being.
