Fit and Fabulous at Any Age

Staying fit after 65 isn’t always easy, but exercise for older adults promotes longevity, improved cognitive function, reduced health risks, and more. Not only does Columbia Association encourage and applaud your efforts, but we have also designed fitness classes to help keep you going strong!

Fight off osteoporosis with the strength training, core and balance work you’ll find during a Build Your Bones class. Increase your mobility and reduce pain by attending a Joints in Motion class.  You can even relieve stiffness in the pool by registering for Aqua Arthritis.

Those who wish to join CA’s more mainstream classes at a bit of a slower pace might enjoy Ai Chi, LaBlast™, BodyFlowTM or similar classes. And you don’t need to be a member to enjoy them! Ai Chi, LaBlast, BodyFlow and other classes are included as part of the Mature Adult 6-Class Pass. The Mature Adult 6-Class Pass entitles any Columbia Cardholder or non-member who is age 65 and older to try a select group of fitness classes at Columbia Athletic Club.

Here are just a few of CA’s fitness classes for seniors:
