FAQ

What is the best way to register?

By MAil. Mailing on or after December 30 is the way to get to the “head of the line”. (Registrations mailed before December 30 will go to the back of the line.)

I don’t have the prerequisite. Can I still take the program?

Contact the Program Department for permission from the instructor. Email [email protected].

Terms

All our programs are led by qualified instructors, who are experienced and/or educated in fitness for seniors. Programs are not intended as therapy or rehabilitation for seniors with medical conditions or mobility problems. However, many common health problems experienced by seniors are helped by regular, moderate exercise.

The Seniors Association advises all participants in exercise, fitness & sport programs to discuss their participation with their family doctors. This is par-ticularly important if you have any chronic condi-tions such has high blood pressure, heart or lung disease, osteoporosis, diabetes or painful joints.

DECLARATION: I have read the descriptions of the Seniors Associa-tion exercise, fitness & sport programs for which I am registering and acknowledge that I have been ad-vised to consult with my doctor about my participa-tion in these classes.
