Get up & get moving together

Did you know regularly walking provides the body and mind with many perks? It’s true. Walking has been shown to improve mood, boost your energy and even have an effect on life span. You might not know it, but walking also helps burn calories, strengthen the heart and lower blood sugar.

With the Philippi Wellness Center’s newest Walkercise program, you can groove to some tunes while reaping the benefits of walking.

Here’s everything you need to know about this new program!

When is it? Where is it?
The Walkercise program has recently just started, and this session will run until May 26 at the Philippi City gym. Doors will open at 9 a.m. Anyone can start at anytime as there is no routine to learn.

How often will the class be held?
Walkercise will be held Mondays and Wednesdays from 9 a.m. to 10 a.m. Fridays will be added if there is sufficient interest in the program.

What does Walkercise consist of?
Participants will walk the city gym to music with ongoing coaching to encourage the use of arms, directional change and balance work.

What does Walkercise cost?
Classes are included with membership at the Philippi Wellness Center and Belington Wellness Center. A non-member may participate for $5.
