Description
I have been leading an independent fitness class for seniors for the past few years, starting with
summer classes at West Confederation Park during the Covid pandemic. During bad weather
and through the winter months, we do the classes at home by Zoom.
I will be retiring in September and moving out of the province; therefore, I am looking for a
certified group fitness leader who would consider taking on this class for a small group
(between 4 and 10 seniors show up for classes).
The members of this group range in age from 70 to 96 and are quite fit but want to continue
exercising regularly to maintain their levels of mobility, stability and flexibility. We do low
impact, low to medium intensity cardio and strength work outs using minimum equipment
(mostly a variety of free weights and a mat) and often just body weight. We also incorporate
some chair yoga when indoors. All are capable of getting up and down to mats.
Currently, we meet Mondays and Thursdays at 5:00pm, and Saturdays at 10:00am. But this is
only to accommodate my work schedule. I believe this class would be quite happy to me three
mornings or afternoons per week as all are retired.

To apply
Please contact me at: slwest25@gmail.com with your fitness resume and any questions you
may have. I am hoping to stop leading these classes by the end of July, or mid August if
necessary, and hope to have a replacement who can join us for a few classes in July to gain
understanding of what these folks are capable of and their goals.
