Spring Training is Underway at Wellspring!

Juniper Village at Brookline’s Wellspring location has started a new initiative this spring – Get Fit with TransFitness! Once a week, Steve Snyder from TransFitness provides small group fitness coaching to Wellspring residents. He leads residents in proper stretching and warm techniques, followed by strength training. Colorful resistance bands are used to tone muscles, improve range of motion, and build strength. Free weights are also used in the regimen, as residents work through a variety of exercises. The small group model for training offers the best of both worlds – it provides one-on-one attention to adapt the exercise to each person’s fitness level, while giving participants the opportunity to enjoy the camaraderie of a workout. Get Fit with TransFitness is just one way residents experience the Juniper mission of “nurturing the spirit of life.” When our bodies are stretched and our blood is flowing, we feel better not only physically, but also emotionally. Exercise helps to release stress and increase endorphins, which puts a smile on our face and spring in our step!
