HUB HAPPENINGS

“I am more motivated to stay fit when I exercise in a group. I love being with friends who have similar goals,” said a recent participant in a group class at the Hub. Many would agree it is often more difficult to accomplish things alone! The Senior Center offers three free classes focusing on both exercise and mind connection.
