Our award winning Health Club was the first of its kind and set the standard for other communities throughout the retirement industry.
It offers residents a fully equipped Fitness Center; a swimming pool complete with indoor/outdoor patios; dressing rooms outfitted with lockers, showers, hair dryers and towels; and a massage room.
Our Health Club Director, a full-time member of our management team, works with residents to design customized strength training programs that are compatible with each person’s needs and abilities. The individual programs are designed around equipment that includes a wide variety of machines that enhance both strength training and aerobic capacity.
In addition to our Fitness Center, we also feature a lap pool, for use not only by our residents, but their families and friends. The depth of our pool is accommodating to not only the avid swimmer, but also those who take pleasure in a leisurely swim or even just a calming walk in the pool. For residents interested in getting a better workout in the pool, our Health Club Director teaches water aerobics classes three times a week, combining both fitness and fun!
The pool is also a favorite place for visiting grandchildren! It is not only a great source of exercise; it is a wonderful place to just relax and enjoy the surroundings.
Our Health Club Director conducts several group exercise classes. He teaches the Stretch/Strengthening class that features Yoga techniques as well as the beginners’ class for Tai Chi. Advanced Tai Chi and Qigong classes are taught by an outside instructor.
Our massage room is located in our Health Club and certified massage therapists are available through scheduled appointments. Our Director makes arrangements for residents at their request. Any resident interested receives a free trial massage.
