Silver Sneakers

The ELITE is pleased to offer the SilverSneakers Program - a fun, energizing program that helps older adults take greater control of their health by encouraging physical activity and offering social events.   Silver Sneakers offers an innovative blend of physical activity, healthy lifestyles, and socially oriented programming that allows older adults to take greater control of their health.

The award-winning Silver Sneakers Fitness Program is a proven, results-oriented program that enables older adults, often burdened with chronic conditions, to take charge of their health and maintain an active, independent lifestyle.  In addition to classes, you may be able to qualify for a free membership with Silver Sneakers.  Adults with Medicare and either Humana or Highmark Blue Cross/Blue Shield are eligible to participate.  Those that do not have the supplemental Medicare coverage, can pay a very small fee and join any of our classes discussed below.
