Every generation has had its fitness gurus and gadgets: Jack LaLanne, Denise Austin, Richard Simmons, Jillian Michaels, thigh master, Peloton, treadmills, aerobics and those awful 80s neon leotards!

 
Is there a spiritual connection?

 
The Bible doesn’t prescribe the perfect fitness workout, but it does encourage believers to care for their “temple” (1Corinthians 6:19-20, 1 Thessalonians 5:23).

 
Growing Young Fitness is an adult chair-based exercise class that meets every Tuesday and Thursday from 9:00–10:00 AM. The class is open to everyone, and participants are encouraged to attend as they are able and engage at their own comfort level.

 
Each session begins with a Bible verse and a brief prayer. The class follows the Growing Young Fitness DVD program, which offers a variety of 15- and 30-minute workouts focused on balance, core strength, foundation, and overall fitness. Participants may modify or skip any exercise that causes discomfort.

 
The group offers a welcoming atmosphere, providing both physical activity and meaningful fellowship. While attendance has so far been primarily women, men are welcome. The program has been beneficial to many—including helping me personally lose 25 pounds.
We invite you to come and see what the class is all about. We would be glad to have you join us.
