Grandview Terrace is showing its love for its residents by making sure the pandemic isn’t stopping fitness classes from happening – especially during Heart Health month.
The GVT fitness department has 10 different classes for residents and since they cannot have them in person, the wonderful GVT Life Enrichment team recorded each of the 10 classes. The classes offer both sitting and standing options for different fitness levels. The classes are on the in-house TV station and play on the same schedule as if they were attending the in-person class.
Debbie Sables, Fitness Coordinator, ACE, says residents have given great feedback on being able to exercise safely from their condos.
“Many residents have called or sent thank you notes for making this possible. I have also heard from residents who have never taken our classes telling me they love it and they will likely attend when we open back up,” Debbie shares. “This project really excited me because so many of our residents were attending in person classes that we did not want them to lose momentum or progress. It’s nice to hear our residents say, “Hey, I worked out with you today!”
Thank you to the GVT fitness team lead by Director Terry Wallace for all they are doing to keep residents safe and healthy during the pandemic.
