On Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, classes will be at 9:30 a.m. The Tuesday and Thursday classes will be at 1:15 p.m.

Healthy snacks will be provided following each class. The stretching exercises are designed to increase strength, flexibility, endurance and balance. The center will also purchase an additional treadmill for the fitness rooms at the center.
