Nearly 10 free workshops were also offered and attended by close to 100 people.

Participating Center for Health & Fitness members and community members took to the floor for Zumba and Functional Mat Pilates to show that age is but a number. Their strength, body movements and smiles speak for themselves, redefining aging and showing that the sky is the limit when it comes to what we can still do throughout the aging process (2 images attached).
