This is no average fitness class! Classes are taught by a certified fitness instructor to ensure quality assurance and safety. Your fitness instructor will measure your starting point in several key areas of strength, mobility and balance and continue to help you monitor your progress throughout your participation. The instructor will get to know you, your individual goals and challenges, and how to help you make the most of each class.
EnhanceFitness® is an evidence-based program with years of research backing it, which means it is scientifically proven to:
• Improve strength and balance
• Increase flexibility
• Boost activity levels
• Improve mood
• Help prevent falls
In accordance with CDC guidelines, masking at PCOA facilities is recommended and encouraged for staff, volunteers, and members of the public. Masks will be available if needed at our front desks.
