Physical Activity Programs
Not getting enough physical activity can double your risk of frailty, falls, and losing independence. The good news? Moving more—even a little—can reduce your risk of conditions like depression, cancer, and diabetes. It also supports better sleep, sharper thinking, stronger bones, and lower healthcare costs. And it’s fun!
Our nationally recognized evidence-based EnhanceFitness classes include arthritis-friendly cardiovascular, strength, balance, and flexibility exercises in every one-hour class offered two to three times per week, adaptable to any level of fitness and mobility.
Each of Sound Generations’ partner senior centers as well as other Project Enhance community partner sites throughout King County host a wide variety of fun, social ways to stay active through physical activities that promote social connection. In addition to EnhanceFitness, dance classes like hula and tango, workshops for improving balance, adaptive yoga classes and other programs, are thoughtfully designed to support physical activity for individuals of all abilities, mobility levels, and access needs.
Fall Prevention Programs
Falling is NOT a normal part of aging. Whether you’ve already experienced a fall or are starting to feel less steady on your feet, you can reduce your risk, gain knowledge and confidence, and maintain your independence. Learn key skills and strategies for preventing and managing falls with A Matter of Balance classes, scientifically proven to increase confidence to address fall risk.
