Creating Healthy Habits

At GetSetUp, our Health, Wellness, and Nutrition Program is designed to enhance the overall well-being of older adults. We understand that maintaining physical fitness, mental wellness, and healthy eating habits are crucial for a vibrant, active life. Our program provides a wide range of classes that cater to these essential aspects of health and empower older adults to take charge of their wellness journey.

What we Offer

Our program includes a variety of classes focused on physical fitness, mental wellness, and nutrition:

  • Physical Fitness: Our fitness classes are designed to accommodate all levels of mobility and fitness. Classes like "Morning Fitness - Let's Get Moving" and "Sit & Sculpt: Strength Training Workout from Your Chair" offer aerobic exercises, strength training, and flexibility routines to improve physical health and mobility.
  • Mental Wellness: We offer classes that promote mental relaxation and stress reduction. "Mindful Chair Yoga" and "Mindful Tips to De-Stress Anytime" teach techniques for maintaining mental clarity and reducing stress through mindful practices.
  • Nutrition: Nutrition classes provide guidance on healthy eating and cooking. "Healthy One-Pot Dinners" and "Nutrition’s Role in Brain Health: What to Eat and Avoid" help participants learn to prepare nutritious meals that support overall health and cognitive function.
  • Specialty Wellness: Classes such as "How to Create a Safer Home Environment to Prevent Falls" and "Gentle Pilates for Pain Management" focus on specific aspects of wellness, including fall prevention and pain management in order to improve participants' quality of life.

What is the Impact?

  • Enhanced Mental Wellness: Our mindfulness and relaxation classes help reduce stress, improve mental clarity, and promote a sense of well-being. Participants often experience better sleep quality and a more positive outlook on life.
  • Better Nutrition and Eating Habits: Nutrition classes equip participants with the knowledge and skills to make healthier food choices. This results in improved dietary habits, better management of chronic conditions, and overall enhanced health.
