Arthritis and Fibromyalgia Exercise

Take Control with Exercise

This program contains water and land classes that are designed specifically for people with arthritis and/or fibromyalgia. We use gentle activities to help increase joint flexibility, range of motion and to help increase overall stamina. This program, however, should not replace a therapeutic exercise program individually prescribed by a therapist. The classes are taught by certified instructors.

"Even though there are other gyms out there closer to me and cheaper I feel Galter is the best value because of the variety of classes, instructors that CARE about you and the integrative therapies. All the programs together work your whole body and mind." - Eileen
