Rockin' Fitness Holding Open House for Seniors
January 19th, 2015 – Rockin’ Fitness in New Rockford will hold an open house on January 29 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., geared towards welcoming older adults to the fitness center. The open house will include facility tours, a walkthrough of the fitness equipment, refreshments, staff meet-and-greet, door prizes, and free blood pressure checks. Staff will also be able to check whether guests are eligible for free gym memberships through SilverSneakers or Silver&Fit.
Rockin’ Fitness manager Brittany Allmaras says, “A major focus for the fitness center this year is to reach out to the community, and especially to seniors, to help them achieve their health goals. For some people that may be weight loss, or heart health, or just adding some light physical activity to their week.” Rockin’ Fitness is researching and creating new ways to serve seniors through special programs or classes.
Many seniors qualify for a free membership to the gym through their health coverage plan, through SilverSneakers or Silver&Fit. These programs provide a free basic membership to qualified individuals. Basic membership includes unlimited access to the 24-hour fitness center. Seniors are encouraged to call or stop in to check their eligibility, or to come to the open house to meet with staff.
Rockin’ Fitness is located at 803 1st Ave N in New Rockford. For more information please contact Rockin’ Fitness at (701) 947-2830 or at www.cityofnewrockford.com/fitness
