When it comes to choosing where to enjoy your next best life, you certainly have options. Here are the reasons why savvy planners report that exemplary service, a casually elegant setting, a close-knit community, and long-term comfort and financial stability set The Garlands apart.
FITNESS with a fun Twist
Better hand/eye coordination through beer pong? Don’t knock it ’til you try it.
Karaoke while balancing on one leg? Why not?
Axe-throwing at 80? Let’s go!
The Garlands enthusiastic and knowledgeable fitness experts are always up for a good time and mindful that inspiration, creativity, and good old-fashioned FUN are key to a healthy lifestyle, regardless of age.
That’s why they infuse The Garlands traditional fitness offerings, like weightlifting, land and water aerobics, balance classes, Pilates, yoga, Zumba, and Boot Camps, with innovative “extra-curricular” activities.
“At The Garlands we believe that fitness offers not only physical benefits but emotional and social benefits as well. All three work together to help form a healthy sense of well-being.
“Once Garlands members decide to join the fitness fun, they quickly learn that we have a ball creating a supportive wellness-oriented community together and start realizing many beneficial results.
~ Bethanie Lochman, Garlands Fitness Supervisor
