As people age, their risk for illness and injury naturally increases. But exercise can slow the aging process and help people become stronger and more resilient.

Senior Fit is a free 45-minute multi-component exercise program designed for adults ages 55 and older. The program focuses on increasing flexibility, strength and muscle endurance. Classes are ongoing and a physician’s consent form is required to participate.

The program is offered at 21 locations throughout Montgomery and Prince George's counties and the District of Columbia, through a partnership among Holy Cross Hospital, Kaiser Permanente, Maryland National Capital Parks and Planning Commission, Montgomery County Department of Recreation and local churches.

Registration for Senior Fit is available online or by calling 301-754-8800. Search for other senior fitness classes here.
