If I were more physically fit, I would be able to ...The staff at the Center for Lifetime Wellness recognizes that the answer to this question is different for every person. We also believe that physical fitness is very important to the well-being of every individual regardless of the health challenges they may face. At the Center for Lifetime Wellness, we encourage our members to think of fitness as a stepping stone toward accomplishing something with meaning for them. Because of this approach, each member's fitness program is unique and based on personal fitness goals and desires. The Center for Lifetime Wellness staff are trained to address the special needs and fitness levels of each of our members. The Center is equipped with a variety of equipment including simple elastic bands, hand weights, bicycles, treadmills, rowing machines, steppers, and fitness machines for individuals in wheelchairs. The staff are certified and experienced in assisting members with arthritis, heart conditions, artificial joints, high blood pressure, diabetes, and chronic back problems, to name a few. We also provide classes to help our members enhance their quality of life through better day-to-day management of these conditions. We strive to take the fear out of fitness. Because we realize that many of our members are unfamiliar with the concepts of fitness and exercise, our staff take the time to make members feel welcome and comfortable. In addition to personal comfort, we also try to provide peace of mind for members with special health concerns. At the Center for Lifetime Wellness, our staff often work with member's physicians to develop fitness programs, and since our center is located in a health care facility, we have access to medical support whenever necessary. The Center also has a medical director who assists in the development of our policies and programming.
