55+ A Perfect balance: Free Drop-in Classes
January 11 th & 18 th | 9:15 - 10:00 am
Still actively hiking, skiing, curling, etc? Most people over 25
believe that they are too old to start gymnastics, but it is never
too late to gain the benefits from practicing this sport. Ordinarily
we take our balance for granted but it is an important
and vital part of our daily life. Though there are often many
factors involved with decreased balance as we age, a lot of
this decline is simply due to our inactivity. Gymnastics is all
about balance work, core and trunk strengthening and resistance
training. Join us for a couple introductory classes prior
to the commencement of the registered classes and discover
how beneficial this cross-training class can be in keeping you
in peak condition for the mountains, the ice or the trails. Open
to all 55+ Members. Class is held in the Gymnastics Centre.
Please dress in active wear and no shoes.
