In-Person and Virtual Exercise Classes

What are In-Person and Virtual Exercise Classes?

Lumacare offers free exercise classes for community members aged 64+ at 6 sites and online.

We recognize that it is challenging for older adults to be homebound and unable to meet their friends in our different programs in the community.

To give our Healthier Living Centre clients company through this pandemic, Lumacare is offering daily virtual classes for older adults to connect!

Virtual classes range from gentle fitness, line dancing, stretching and strength exercises, chair yoga, chair fitness, cardio, bingo, to social conversations.

If you are unable to join the virtual classes, we’ve got you covered as well! Every week, Lumacare will upload a recorded video for you to watch and enjoy as many times as you’d like.

Program Highlights

  • Low-impact exercise classes designed to improve balance, coordination, and flexibility
  • Moderate- to high-impact exercise classes designed to increase strength and endurance
  • Hand-held weights, elastic bands, and balls are used in some in-person classes
Group Fitness Classes
