Fitness Classes
Your heart gets stronger with exercise!
Establishing a progressive exercise program will build fitness and functional capacity.

wrote a letter to his doctor and said: “I’ve followed your prescriptions and your suggestions. Sometimes it had been difficult to do. But that is where the HeartFit For Life comes in: they are wonderful at seeing that your advice is followed. It is more than an exercise program. It is more than a “nagging” program. It is a group of individuals who help each other follow their doctor’s advice to stay healthy.”
Group Classes for All Abilities
You are encouraged to attend at least three cardio exercise classes per week. In addition to cardiovascular workout, each class incorporates muscle-strengthening exercises, using weights, resistance bands, or body weight. A trained fitness instructor leads each session, which consists of a warmup, 20-30 minutes of aerobic workout at individual target heart rates, followed by strengthening, stretching, and relaxation exercises. Our cardiac nurses supervise each session, onsite and online, and monitor your progress and help you stay on track with your goals and feel safe.
You can join a variety of classes from cardio dance, drumming, to chair fitness. In addition to cardio classes, we offer specialized classes to help with your balance, strengthening, and flexibility, as well as a yoga/meditation class.
My exercise classes at CTF were extremely helpful and I would not be in such good health without. CTF has not only helped me physically by providing a protected exercise space but also emotionally in dealing with my fears. CTF and many of its members were real confidence boosters and made me able to regain the discipline needed to stay healthy in the future.
