"Working with you and your family
to find the best answers"
 
Freedom Through Fitness
Barbara Frankenfield - Program Coordinator
 
 
Working Out!!The Commission on Aging Freedom Through Fitness Program is an award winning program offered to Older Adults in several locations throughout the Mt. Pleasant area. The classes are designed to improve and maintain the participants overall wellness by working on their flexibility, strength, muscular endurance and cardiovascular health. Each class follows a basic workout routine that includes: warm-up, cardiovascular workout, upper body resistance work and cool down.
 
Our general aerobics exercise classes are held at the Isabella County Senior Center, Winchester Tower Apartments, Riverview Apartments and Dover Court Apartments. We also offer a water aerobics class which is held in the Student Activities Center on the campus of Central Michigan University.
 
All classes are led and supervised by qualified instructors who have a background in Health Promotion, Physical Fitness and/or Exercise Science.
 
Prior to participation in the Freedom Through Fitness Program everyone is asked to complete a brief physical activity questionnaire, a brief history form and an informed consent and release form. Everyone will also be asked to give an exercise clearance form to their family physician in order to receive his/ or her permission to exercise.
 
The Freedom Through Fitness Exercise Program has been designed and is managed by the Isabella County Commission on Aging. However the program's success is due to the support and cooperation of many community organizations. The funding for our exercise program comes from the Saginaw Chippewa Tribal Council. The space needed to exercise is provided by Riverview, Dover Court and Winchester Tower Apartments. As well as special arrangements through Central Michigan University and their Student Activity Center.
