I look forward to my Tuesday and Thursday Senior Fit classes with Tamika Scott, Personal Trainer at Effingham Street. Great personality, encourages you and modifies exercises. I am feeling much better!!
Excellent program for Senior health with the great management of Deb and the exceptional teaching from Ella and Tameika. The atmosphere was friendly and positive and I experienced great gains in my strength, balance and cardio health with the Effingham team’s guidance. I wish Silver Sneakers was available there, though!
I enjoy the structure of the fitness class. Instructor encourages each participant to TRY and supports our efforts. Each session is different. I feel as if I have improved my strength and balance. The tempo of music and selection of music inspires me to keep up. Almost 80 years old, I am so thankful for this Sentara Fitness and Balance program at Effingham Y for Seniors. I am UP and moving in physical activities even more since coming.
