Senior Workout Classes in Harrisburg, PA

With each passing year, maintaining your physical fitness becomes even more important.

This is why 5 Bridges Health & Fitness offers a variety of classes designed specifically for those who are Medicare eligible. Build muscle, improve cardiovascular fitness and embrace an encouraging community of exercisers just like you as you work toward the common goal of optimal health!

For our senior gym-goers, we offer various classes that target the major muscle groups and build strength and flexibility. All of our senior fitness classes are taught in our facilities by our diverse team of certified fitness instructors, who offer expert support and encouragement.
