Getting fit with The Salvation Army.
Helping people to make healthy changes in their lives is the prime focus of a new program at The Salvation Army in Williams Lake, BC.
Instructor Candice Drouin offers a range of free programs for adults, families and children, including yoga, Zumba, aerobics, cardio and stretching and strengthening exercises.
A YMCA certified fitness instructor, and a trained Zumba dance teacher, Candice worked at a fitness centre for two-and-a-half years, and got her start at the Salvation Army as a volunteer last fall.
“When people leave my class with a smile on their face I know I did a good job. I like it when people feel a sense of accomplishment,” she explained.
The Salvation Army fitness centre offers low-impact cardio, personal training sessions, women’s only sessions and family fitness where parents and kids can have fun and get fit together.
