The Club Fitness Centre

Following a successful research study performed in collaboration with McMaster University's Department of Kinesiology, Shalom Village established a fitness centre designed specifically for people over the age of 70.

Founded in part with a grant from the Ontario Trillium Foundation, The Club Fitness Centre is equipped with state of the art Keiser low-impact weight training equipment. The Club is open to all seniors over the age of 70, including residents of other long term care facilities and seniors centres. No special clothing is required. Manager Greg Almas will help you develop a fitness plan suitable to your needs and abilities.
