The activities at the Cummings Centre are called Fitness that’s Fun & Flexible and the title says it all: If you’re over 50, you need physical exercise and mental challenges that suit your fitness levels and needs.
“Exercise is the key to staying strong, energetic, independent, and healthy as you age,” says Annette Vézina, who manages the programs at Cummings’ Wellness Centre.
“These programs are tailored to the 50-plus population, and it’s a nice, welcoming, non-threatening environment to come into, especially if it’s a first time someone signs up for an exercise class,” she adds.
Before you join a class, there is a mandatory fitness assessment costing $20, to ensure that the program you choose is right for your fitness level.
