• A 12-week wellness and support program;
• Two 75- to 90-minute sessions per week;
• Cardiovascular conditioning, strength training, balance and flexibility exercises;
• Fitness and quality of life assessments before and after participation;
• S free Y membership for the duration of the program; and
• YMCA-certified instructors helping every step of the way.
