What to Bring
- Water bottle
- Comfortable clothing that allows for easy movement
- Clean, dry indoor footwear such as running or fitness shoes

Participants are asked to sanitize and put away mats and chairs after use.
Many members enjoy staying afterward for coffee and conversation, making Keep Fit a wonderful opportunity for both exercise and social connection.

Our co-ed fitness programs at the Oliver Senior Centre are on Tuesdays and Thursdays, October to Easter. Both classes are for both men and women . The first class (1:00 – 2:00) is appropriate for most seniors. The second class (2:15 – 3:15) is for seniors with health or physical limitations.
The Senior Centre has floor mats (you are welcome to bring your own if you wish), but no other equipment so please bring a stretch band and weights for some of the strength exercises.
