Fitness Center trainers Katleen Lamport, Nora Pallotta, and Ash Harrison will be hosting two workshop sessions focusing on how to safely get up from a fall. The first session will be held on Monday, May 18th, from 12:00pm to 1:00pm in the Serenity Studio and the second session will be held on Wednesday, May 20th from 12:00pm – 1:00pm in the Serenity Studio. Each session is limited to 15 participants, and attendees only need to register for one.
The workshop will cover a variety of techniques for getting up from a fall, with time built in for participants to practice and ask questions.
