Salt Lake County Aging & Adult Services' Active Aging Program provides many evidence-based classes and workshops that educate older adults on the importance of staying healthy while offering individuals the opportunity to engage in physical activity.
These classes and workshops are provided through a network of 15 County-operated senior centers throughout Salt Lake County.
Growing older has been redefined! Many of us will spend decades in a new phase of life where we continue to learn, grow and contribute. How will YOU spend that time? A senior center is all about being active, healthy and having fun!
Come and make new friends. Try something new or enjoy something familiar. Have lunch. Start a new hobby or take a class. Contribute. Use a computer or play a game. Write your masterpiece. Health promotion and health education is all about enjoying life.
Stay active on our fitness equipment. Hike the Wasatch. Try a new exercise routine and learn healthy behaviors. Join a travel club. Take Yoga or Tai Chi classes.
