Falls Prevention Exercise Classes

Falls prevention exercise classes are designed to help individuals, particularly older adults, reduce their risk of falling. These classes typically include a combination of cardio endurance, strength training, balance exercises, and flexibility activities. The primary goal is to improve muscle strength, enhance balance and coordination, and increase overall stability. Classes are led by trained instructors and may also include education on safe movement techniques and home safety tips. All classes require pre-registration, and are free of charge.
