Protect your bones and boost your balance with a class that integrates Pilates, strength training, functional movement, and fall prevention training to improve the health and longevity of your bones and joints. You must be able to stand on both feet and get up from the floor without assistance.

Functional Strength Training

Safe for adults with osteoarthritis

Build strength and improve your balance to help make your daily activities – and perhaps your sporting activities – easier and more fun. This weekly class is performed both seated and standing with the use of resistance bands, dumbbells, and your own body weight. It is never too late to build muscle, get stronger, improve your balance, and live better. All are welcome and modifications will be provided to those with varied fitness levels, including those with arthritis.

Please have a firm chair, small towel, small ball or pillow, resistance band(s), dumbbells, and a bottle of water ready for use.

BackStrong Mat Class (When offered)

Created by Nancy Alexander, Physical Therapist, licensed Buff Bones® instructor and author of, “Get UP! Defy Aging with Movement,” this NEW class helps you ease arthritis pain and stiffness at your low back and legs with specially designed exercises for core and lower body strengthening and stretching. Learn proper form for these conditions and although this is not a Buff Bones® class, modifications will be offered to those with osteoporosis. Ideal for those with degenerative changes at your low back including arthritis, spinal stenosis, spondylolisthesis and degenerative disc disease. Appropriate for anyone who is active with recent participation in an exercise class.

Participants must be able to stand on both feet and get up from the floor without assistance. Allow enough space for your mat and space around it to move (approximately 5 feet total on either side). Please have a mat, small towel, and a bottle of water ready for use. A small ball or pillow, small hand weights, a resistance band, and a long belt/strap are highly recommended but not mandatory.
