SENIOR EXERCISE CLASSES

Ballard Health Club accepts several insurance programs that will cover the cost of the Silver Sneakers Basic membership up to a certain amount. Including Silver Sneakers, Silver & Fit, and Optum/Renew Active.

The following Silver Sneakers class is included with all BHC memberships:

Silver Sneakers: Designed to increase strength, range of movement, and activities for daily living. *Hand-held weights, elastic tubing with handles, and a Silver Sneakers ball are offered for resistance training. A chair is used for seated exercises and standing support. The structure of the class is designed to spend half of the time standing and the other half seated; however, this can be adapted by the student depending on their fitness level and abilities. Suitable for beginning to intermediate skill levels.

The following Silver Sneakers class requires a PLUS Membership, or paid $10 class drop-in, to attend:

Silver Sneakers PLUS: For those looking for a greater challenge than the Silver Sneakers class, this is the class for you! We will focus on functional fitness and activities of daily living (ADL) movements but at a slightly faster pace and higher intensity. A variety of formats are used in class to keep things interesting (circuit training, Tabata, supersets etc). Exercises will be performed primarily in a standing position throughout the class but can easily be modified for any fitness level. *Hand-held weights and elastic tubing with handles, are offered for resistance training. A chair and a towel may also be used.

The in-person Silver Sneakers classes are held at Leif Erickson Hall just across from the main Ballard Health Club parking lot on 56th Ave.
