Our walking groups provide a supportive and motivating environment for individuals of all ages and fitness levels to come together and walk towards a healthier heart.

It also helps manage weight, blood pressure, and cholesterol, reduces the risk of developing some cancers, maintains bone density, improves balance and coordination, and reduces the risk of falls and other injuries.
