Senior Wellness Program
Adult Dining and Activity Center
The Senior Wellness Program is available through the All American Fitness Center and the Town of New Hartford. It is designed to give seniors in our area an opportunity to become more physically fit while also giving them the opportunity to learn about new issues of health and wellness. A selection of different classes are available to approach senior wellness in a variety of ways. Any Senior interested should contact the New Hartford Senior Center to get started by making an appointment for a Senior Fitness Evaluation Session. All new participants of the Senior Wellness Program must first start with this evaluation session. This session is by appointment only. Appointment times are available on the 2nd and 4th Wednesday of each month at 10:00, 10:30, 11:00, and 11:30 a.m. The Senior Wellness Evaluation Session includes: a blood pressure screening, pulse check, healthy body weight screening based on body fat measurements, and a health questionnaire. Once this evaluation session has been completed, participation in both of the Senior Wellness Program classes is possible. (Please note: When you schedule your appointment for the Wellness Evaluation please request the Doctor's Permission sheet. For your health and safety, you will need to have your Doctor complete and sign this sheet to certify that you are healthy and able to participate.)
