Adult Speciality Fitness Classes

Aqua Suspension at The Bender JCC is a low-impact class which strengthens your core, improves posture, and enhances flexibility, balance, and coordination — all while easing discomfort and boosting overall stability. Participants should feel comfortable exercising in deep water without touching the floor.

Improve balance, coordination, and confidence in everyday movement. This class begins with simple movement assessments to identify areas that may contribute to instability or fall risk. Participants then perform targeted exercises to strengthen the core and lower body while improving agility, reaction time, and body awareness. Using tools like agility ladders, stepping patterns, floor markers, and stability drills, members develop safer movement skills. The class also includes education on common causes of falls and practical strategies to help reduce risk and move with greater confidence.

Tai Chi uses gentle flowing movements to reduce the stress of a busy lifestyle and improve balance, agility, and health. Individuals interested in Tai Chi at the Bender JCC should be able to stand on one foot for several seconds at a time, while being willing to learn one new move over the course of six to 8 weeks.
