Keeping Seniors Moving, Connected, and Thriving
The United Through Fitness & Education (UTFE) Active Seniors Wellness Initiative is a year-round community health program designed to improve physical mobility, cardiovascular wellness, cognitive engagement, and overall quality of life for older adults in Shreveport and Caddo Parish.
Through structured mobile fitness classes, wellness education, and community engagement activities, UTFE brings accessible movement opportunities directly to nursing homes, senior centers, churches, parks, and community recreation facilities.
The program emphasizes preventative health, social connection, and lifelong wellness to help seniors maintain independence and active lifestyles.
United Through Fitness & Education will provide Mobile Pump fitness classes at nursing facilities, including Garden Manor, on the second and fourth Saturday of each month. These structured 30-minute sessions are designed to support healthy aging and improve overall quality of life for senior residents. Each class incorporates low-impact cardiovascular movement, mobility and flexibility exercises, strength-building activities, and balance training focused on fall prevention. Participants will also receive blood pressure awareness education and practical wellness tips that encourage safe, active lifestyles and increased confidence in daily movement.
