“I’m a pretty active person. I try to walk every day. I thought I was in pretty good shape, but these exercises
made a difference in me,” said Gayle Price, program coordinator. Potential benefits of strength training
include a decrease in arthritis pain, weight maintenance and a reduction in the risk of diabetes, heart disease
and depression. Stress management and improvement in sleep quality and overall physical vitality are other
potential benefits.
Fall 2022 class dates and locations will be posted at a later date.
