Senior Sneakers

Senior Sneakers is the perfect fitness program for beginners and aging adults. This unique and effective program combines half standing work with half seated work, and using weights for resistance. Don’t have weights? No problem – you can use water bottles or soup cans instead.

Who should sign up?

This class is for anyone searching for a new type of exercise whether you are active in your fitness journey or just starting out. Join us for the evening to connect with other members of the community and add some movement into your week!

What do I need to do to prepare?

Plan to arrive to the Community Center a few minutes early to find a space in the room. You can bring weights, soup cans, water bottles, or any other small material if you wish to use resistance during the class. We will have some extra items in case you do not have any available! Plan to wear comfortable clothes and spend about 45 minutes moving.

Meet your presenter: Gretchen Nadeau

Gretchen has been teaching group exercise classes and personal training clients for over 30 years. Currently Gretchen is the fitness coordinator at Covenant Living in Keene, NH. It never ceases to amaze her how much better one feels (both mentally and physically) after exercise.

Now in her middle age, she sees the importance of bringing the older population classes that are challenging but a bit more gentle on their bodies. She is proud to say that she has clients exercising with her into their 80’s and 90’s. Her clients never want to stop moving and neither does she!

​Her goals for every class are simple: Safe, Effective, and Fun!
