The Heritage Pointe Wellness Center offers an array of classes and services to residents, including the Fall Proof™, Fall Prevention Program which takes a multi-dimensional approach to balance and mobility. The Wellness Center also has a modified Yoga class and Water Fitness during the summer months.
The Wellness Center features state of the art equipment specially designed for the senior client, namely Keiser resistance equipment and NuSTEP recumbent steppers. Keiser equipment runs on air pressure and is adjusted at the push of a button. Once acquainted with the equipment, residents enjoy a smooth ride as the pressure adjusts through the range of motion, reducing pressure at weaker joint angles and applying the full pressure only during a safe range of motion.
NuSTEP recumbent steppers allow all ability levels to enjoy a cardio-respiratory exercise that can involve both upper and lower body. These cross-trainers have adjustable resistance levels from: 1-10 and have especially comfortable seats that swivel for easy transfers.
