Geri-Fit® is a highest tier level III evidence-based physical activity strength training exercise program designed for older adults who want to improve their strength, balance, flexibility and cardiovascular endurance.  Geri-Fit accommodates all age groups from 60-100. Each person is encouraged to work out at his/her own pace.  The instructor will provide plenty of one-on-one assistance to assure that you're learning the correct way to work out with weights.  We suggest individuals start out using a set of 2-pound dumbbells and then, as their strength increases, they can use heavier dumbbells in order to build more strength and balance.  There's no aerobics, dancing or choreography to learn and there's no floorwork. Most of the exercises will be performed seated in chairs.  Geri-Fit is an ideal ongoing evidence-based exercise program for chronic disease self-management such as diabetes, heart disease (CVD), pain, arthritis, and weight loss/management as well as an ongoing EBP for fall prevention course graduates. Classes can be held two or three times-a-week for 45-minutes each time. Geri-Fit can also be offered as a 12 week (24 classes) course.

Geri-Flex® is a 30-minute stretching program for active older adults. It combines the best stretches from ballet, pilates, tai chi, and yoga. Students are required to get on the floor, so they'll need to bring an exercise mat and stretch band. We'll work on improving joint mobility, flexibility, balance, and muscular strength. All age groups.

Note:  This program can also be taught chair-based so that all floor stretches are eliminated.  Stretch at your own pace and fitness level. For training and licensing info, click here.
