NYA Sports & Fitness Center is offering a free community fitness program specifically for seniors. The goal of this program is to provide a safe, fun, and informative environment to help seniors improve their levels of fitness.

Led by certified staff at NYA, the program will incorporate walking sessions along with bodyweight and fitness band exercises utilizing the beautiful Fairfield Hills campus (weather permitting) and within NYA. The program will address balance, flexibility, aerobic and strength training along with basic nutrition to help participants increase their energy, coordination, and overall strength.

Sessions will be held on Tuesdays and Thursdays from September 17 through October 3 from 11:30 am to 12:30 pm. The program is free to Newtown seniors.

If desired, lunch will be available at the Sideline Café (inside NYA) immediately following each session for $3, and will include a half sandwich, drink, and side order.

NYA is within Fairfield Hills, at 4 Primrose Street. Register in advance at the NYA Fitness Center desk or call 203-426-0088. Space is limited.
