F.A.Q.

In September 1996, the fitness program at the Fair Lawn Senior Center was designed and implemented by Donna J. Neill for the active older adults of the community. Donna believes that fitness can be fun and beneficial simultaneously and continues to expand the program to the needs of the participants. Donna is an American Council on Exercise (A.C.E.) certified "Group Fitness Instructor," with an "Older Adult Fitness" certification from the American Institute of Fitness Instructors. She is also a member of I.D.E.A. Health and Fitness Association and the American Senior Fitness Association (S.F.A.).

Currently as Assistant Director, Donna leads one class and supervises Nancy Whittaker, who joined the Senior Center as of September 2005 with her own enthusiastic approach to fitness and wellness. Nancy is certified by the American and Fitness Association of America (A.F.A.A.) as a “Group Fitness Instructor", with a Personal Training certification from the World Instruction Training School (W.I.T.S.).

The effort to join is small but the benefits to one's general health and feeling of well-being are so beyond measure! All participants are  required to complete a Health Questionnaire prior to their first class and wear sneakers (or rubber-soled shoes).

Qigong                                                                                                                    Tuesdays @ 2:00 p.m.
The Ancient Chinese Art of Breathing & Movement is a powerful system of healing and energy medicine from China. It is the art and science of using breathing techniques, gentle movement, and meditation to cleanse, strengthen, and circulate the life energy (qi). Qigong practice leads to better health and vitality and a tranquil state of mind. Similar to Tai Chi Chih®, this class is led by Volunteer Joe Lomonico. The instructor has designed this class specifically for senior citizens.

Tai Chi Chih ®                                                                                                                   Mondays @ 2:30 p.m.
The Chinese have practiced this non-impact form of exercise for thousands of years. The mental, physical and emotional benefits of an accomplished student of Tai Chi Chih® are fantastic! Some attribute the longevity and excellent health of the elderly to this daily practice. Joe Lomonico, long time Fair Lawn resident and certified instructor, leads weekly sessions here at the Center.
