Dear Editor:
Kudos to Centre Wellington council and staff.
I wanted to express my appreciation to council for allowing the senior’s centre in Fergus to offer free Zoom fitness classes during the COVID lockdown.
The staff are great at organizing classes and allowing for safe pickup of small items for exercise. The instructors are very good and describe ways to alter a specific exercise for participants that may have a physical challenge.
I have also heard several seniors express their gratitude for not having to walk or drive to the centre during icy, snowy winter months. An added psychological bonus is the few minutes of socializing before a class starts. This helps promote positive feelings and a sense of belonging to a group with the purpose of staying healthy and happy. Well done!
