Summer Fitness for Seniors in Crete, Illinois

Cami Barreto leads a water aerobics class for Crete (Illinois) residents at the Village Woods pool.

Water aerobics offer a full-body workout that is low-impact enough for people who suffer from joint problems, arthritis, or muscle loss. At Village Woods, our retirement community in Crete, Illinois, Fitness Specialist Cami Barreto leads classes every weekday at 10:30am. Up to 20 seniors laugh together while stretching, twisting, and splashing in the pool.

The class is not limited to Village Woods residents. Part of Providence Life Services’ philosophy of ministry is for each of our communities to be a blessing in the greater community. (See “Fine Dining” for another example of this philosophy in action at Village Woods.) Because the Crete, Illinois, Park District does not have a pool, we have opened up the Village Woods pool to anyone who buys a pool pass (good from Memorial Day through Labor Day each summer).
