WITH SUPPORT FROM THE U.S. DEPARTMENT OF VETERANS AFFAIRS, MOVE UNITED IS EXCITED TO OFFER FITNESS INSTRUCTOR TRAINING!
EnhanceFitness is an evidence-based fitness program by Sound Generations that has undergone scientific evaluation and measurably improves health for older-adults.
EnhanceFitness is one of the most effective fitness classes ever offered. To ensure safety, each exercise was developed by experts in the field of physical therapy, in conjunction with agencies serving older adults.
