& independence
Positive lifestyle choices
Bayview Wellness Center is a health promotion and fitness center for mature adults. We
offer daily classes in the fitness studio, aquatic exercise in the warm water pool and personal training on strength and endurance
equipment. All of our programs include ongoing support, personal guidance and education for positive lifestyle choices.
Our goals
We share a commitment to help each individual build optimal health, vitality and fitness. Our goal is to empower you
to be successful in meeting your own personal goals. We give you the tools and personal guidance needed to help you realize
your optimal wellness.
Our philosophy
Wellness means more than the absence of disease; it is a philosophy that fosters balance in all areas of our lives.
Wellness encompasses mental, social, spiritual, physical and emotional aspects of our lives. Wellness involves all the lifestyle
choices we make and learning what the best choices are for each of us.
Our staff
The most important component of a successful wellness center, besides our clients is the staff. The staff at Bayview
Wellness Center have many years of experience, giving compassionate attention to the needs and goals of each individual. They
have also completed extensive years of training in physical education, and are trained and certified fitness professionals
who will give you the time and attention you need to succeed.
You will receive individual attention and personal help to develop your program. We will help you learn how to use
equipment safely, effectively and comfortably. You can always consult us about your questions and you can make appointments
with us to monitor your program and to make changes.
Our classes
We offer daily exercise classes for strength,
flexibility, endurance, fall prevention, and stress management. The classes are progressive and each person works at their
own pace. We emphasize fun and enjoyment as well as good body mechanics and injury prevention.
Our aquatics classes
We offer daily Arthritis Foundation Aquatics classes in our warm water pool. These classes provide gentle range of
motion exercises to help increase joint flexibility and muscle strength, while they help to reduce pain and stiffness.
Our equipment rooms
Our gym features Keiser pneumatic equipment, which is safer and more effective for seniors because it uses air resistance
rather than iron weights. For this reason, Keiser equipment has been used almost exclusively in research on strength training
for seniors. We also have a variety of aerobic equipment to help you build your endurance, including the NU-Step, treadmills,
ellipse and recumbent bike. We will take the time needed to help each individual become familiar and comfortable with the
equipment.
