Key Responsibilities Class Delivery:
Lead authorized SilverSneakers classes (such as SilverSneakers Classic, Circuit, EnerChi, or Yoga) in strict alignment with Tivity Health® brand standards.
Inclusive Modification:
Proactively offer multi-level modifications, utilizing tools like chairs for support, resistance bands, and small exercise balls to ensure participants of all abilities can exercise safely.
Community & Connection:
Foster a warm, supportive class culture that encourages socialization, reduces isolation, and keeps residents motivated to return weekly.
