What do you like about our programs and activities?

We Love going to Prime Time and sit-n-fit but the attendance is very high and overcrowded! I believe it would be better to limit the attendance and to add another class and the attendance held to a fixed number to stop overcrowding.

What do you like about our programs and activities?

Very friendly and kind staff and instructors. I have found that Zumba Gold and cardio drumming are so much more fun and effective than treadmill and bicycling. Chair yoga has made a real difference in my strength, flexibility and balance. And Active Older Adults exercise is fun and is good for strength. All these classes are wonderful for social interaction. I look forward to my classes each week. But is really comes down to capable and knowledgeable instructors. Please invest in recruitment for an instructor for Stanene Hickey, she has been a true inspiration and she seems to care about each individual. She will be missed!

What do you like about our programs and activities?

I use treadmill and bike. Used to do tai chi but it is right at lunchtime. Walking is most important for me now. The classes look good but no energy to do right now. Good variety.
