“Regular exercise has been proven to reduce the risks for heart disease, cancer and other ailments, and improve quality of life for aging adults,” said said ASH Fitness Vice President Brett Hanson, MBA, MBF, DFSS, NASM-SFS.

“We are thrilled to become part of the Silver&Fit national facility network,” said David Ozmore, CEO of the YMCA of High Point. “With the holidays approaching, the timing is perfect. We invite our senior community to join us and begin a regular schedule of working out before the holidays, since this is a time when people often gain weight. With the Silver&Fit program, they can maintain an exercise routine that can improve their overall quality of life.”

In the most recently completed survey of randomly selected Silver&Fit Fitness Facility members, nearly 98 percent of respondents expressed overall satisfaction with the Silver&Fit fitness facility program, and 98 percent stated that the group fitness classes improved their overall health. More than 78 percent said that their participation in the Silver&Fit program had improved their social network and helped them make friends.
