For the time being, the SPRY gatherings and exercise classes, normally held at the VIVO Centre’s “Play Lab”, has been closed due to Covid-19 restrictions. We hope to inform you when it will be safe to resume “normal” activities hopefully in January-2022.
SENIORS’ EXERCISE SESSIONS Has Gone Virtual on ZOOM: Two Chair Exercise Instructors
This Fall, we are introducing a mix of chair-exercise (on Tuesdays) and chair-yoga (on Thursdays). These informative, age-appropriate, light exercise class sessions, are lead by our Certified Trainers: Gina Komanac and Tracy Rand. The exercise time is from 2:00-3:00pm.
The one-hour sessions on ZOOM are every Tuesday and Thursday at 2:00pm from September 28th, until the December 16th, 2021.. Simply Sign-On between 1:45-2:00pm to be admitted. No passwords required.
Our first exercise class is starting September 28th.
SPRY PROGRAM COSTS
Our fitness/exercise program for anyone 55+, which now takes place virtually via Zoom platform. All that participants require are an exercise elastic band, and a pair of hand-weights (2-4 lbs.). The NHCA is subsidizing this program, so SPRY Membership Fees have been reduced to $20 per participant for the Sessions September 28th to December 16th, 2021.
