To the editor:

It’s hard to believe, but this coming September will be the 20th anniversary of the Senior Center of Sidney/Shelby County. Over that period of time, many senior citizens (50 years or better) have enjoyed the wide variety of activities that our center offers. I will mention just a few of the physical fitness activities that are available.

At the center of our “fitness” activities is our exercise room. We have four tread mills, two elliptical machines, five stationary bikes, and two weight machines. We also have agility balls, resistance bands, and various free weights. We also have charts showing different exercises for each type of equipment. We have a personal trainer on site one day per week. You can make an appointment if you would like a personal workout routine. We recommend that you check with your doctor to see what type of exercise would be right for you. A letter from your doctor is also required.

Several activities are scheduled each week to further enhance your fitness. We have chair exercise (light workout), chair volleyball (medium workout), move-n-groove (very popular workout to music), and line dancing. We offer pickleball (can be strenuous), and a walking track.

You can enjoy staying in shape with us for only $30 per calendar year. That amounts to $2.50 per month!

Stop by for a tour and pick up our latest newsletter and calendar and join in the camaraderie.

We are located in the old armory building at the corner of South Street and West Avenue. Our hours are 8 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. Monday through Friday, and 8 a.m. to noon on Saturday. You may contact us at 937-492-5266.

We look forward to seeing you.
