Exciting Programs Offered by the Somers Recreation Department

The Somers Recreation Department is offering April programs for all adults.

April is filled with stimulating classes for adults of all ages (including senior citizens) to help maintain healthy minds and bodies. The classes for each of these programs will be held at the Kibbe Fuller Gym. Pre-registration and program fees must be completed before the beginning of each program.

Zumba/Zumba Gold Class – This 4-week program will occur on Tuesdays from 5:45pm – 6:45pm, starting April 9th. Classes can be modified to accommodate your level. Zumba Gold targets the largest growing segment of the population – baby boomers. It modifies the Zumba moves and pacing to suit the needs of the active older participants, as well as those just starting their journey to a fit and healthy lifestyle. The common element is the zesty Latin music; the easy-to-follow moves; and the invigorating, party-like atmosphere. A minimum of 10 participants is required to run this program. The fee for this 4-week program is $25. 

Meditation Class – This 4-week program will occur on Mondays from 12:30 - 1:30pm, starting on April 8th. The instructor will help you concentrate on achieving a specific goal such as relaxation, spiritual awareness, inner peace, or stress reduction. The aim of Guided Meditation classes is to give everyone the opportunity to let go of stresses and tensions. Classes are fun and relaxing! The fee for this 4-week program is $50.
