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 directly supervises Nancy Whittaker, who joined the Senior Center’s 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).
