“I love the variety offered in the Cummings live events …all types of speakers, classes, exercises, etc.” – Gloria Pascal

The popularity that Wellness programs have experienced over the summer are expected to continue into the fall. Participants appreciate the wide offering of recurring exercise classes designed to service a range of fitness levels giving everyone an option to work out at their own pace and meet their fitness goals and needs.

Gloria Pascal, an active member at the Cummings Centre, looking forward to the many online programs offered this fall.

Online offerings that are planned will include many of the favourites, including aerobic dance, cardio/ strength and brain training intervals, emphasizing physical movement, strength, balance, posture and flexibility. Try out belly dancing, tai chi or chair aerobics. As well, Adapted Programs will continue to provide the needed support and functional movement exercise options to those who are adjusting to life with a long-term condition.
