Adult Day Services — Fitness Programs
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
All exercise programs are designed to provide opportunities for participants to work on stretching, flexibility, cardiovascular fitness and muscle strengthening. A warm up and cool down component are included in all sessions and the program leader provides instruction and feedback to facilitate proper exercise techniques. A fitness assessment and/or medical approval may be required prior to joining these programs to ensure that physical issues can be safely addressed.

Please Be Seated
Originally designed by a CHIRS staff for individuals with reduced mobility, this exercise program is done entirely from a seated position. The east end program is run in partnership with Variety Village and is open to both CHIRS participants and Variety Village members. The central program is run out of the CHIRS Club. |

All Adult Day Service programs require registration. Please contact the CHIRS Intake Department to register. Participants accessing Adult Day Service programs need to be independent for all transportation and personal support requirements, as one to one assistance is not available. Participants who require additional support are welcome to bring a family member or attendant. Please note that programs may be added or changed in response to participant feedback.
