Paul Oliver Memorial Hospital offers 10-week Active Steps program

Benzie-area residents on dialysis or diagnosed with diabetes are invited to participate in a free exercise class called Active Steps at Betsie Hosick Health and Fitness Center.

Fitness center exercise specialists and Paul Oliver Memorial Hospital dietitians will offer expertise to help participants manage weight, increase their energy level, improve circulation, and reduce stress.

The class will run for 10 weeks and includes basic strength training, cardio workouts, core muscle exercises, and balance training with a goal of motivating participants to continue workouts on their own after the class is complete.

All participants need a physician’s referral to participate in the class. For registration and more information, including class days and times, call 231-352-2944.

Betsie Hosick Health and Fitness Center is located at 102 Airport Road in Frankfort.
