More than 65 thousand seniors live in Gdynia and they are really important for local authorities. Because of that fact GSC directs some of actions to older people. GSC organises weekly, free of charge, activities only for seniors such as fitness, Zumba or joga and all these classes are fitted to abilities of the target group.
GSC also organises a special event dedicated to seniors, on the occasion of the Grandma and Grandpa Day, called Active Senior Day. During this Day many sports activities adjusted to individual participants’ abilities are carried out – zumba, pilates, joga, tai-chi, fitness. There is also a special play area where seniors can try playing table tenis, table football or just relax thanks to special coloring books. For those who want to do some medical tests there is a health area with pressure measurement and much more.
We are getting older in the same way as we live, so we need to live actively and healthy!
