that obesity is a growing problem among the populations served at Family Health Care led to the development of the “Fit-for-Life”
program. Severe medical problems, including diabetes, heart disease and other obesity-associated may be significantly reduced
with even modest weight reduction. Since initiating the program in 2001 as a simple support and informational group, it has expanded to include a full fitness program. Exercise opportunities include aerobics, yoga, and karate and cooking and nutrition classes are provided six days weekly. A well-equipped fitness center with bicycles, treadmills, steppers and weights is staffed by certified personal trainers and exercise instructors.
Our overall goal is to increase the health of participants through increased fitness and weight reduction when appropriate. We promote increased regular physical activity and reduced sedentary activity among adults and children. We utilize personal motivation and selected physical activities to encourage the clients to adopt a healthier lifestyle. Annual memberships are available and community members are welcome to come by for a tour.
Movement classes include Karate, yoga, dance, aerobics and specialized classes
for those with arthritis. Nutrition information and even a special low-fat cooking class are available. Karate and Jump rope are especially popular with children and teens.
