Community exercise and pool programs Studies prove that physically active people live longer and healthier lives and maintain sharper minds. In providing opportunities for the fullest life, Seniorsfirst's Health and Fitness programs at Valley Manor enable residents and seniors throughout the Rochester community to maintain an active lifestyle.

Seniorsfirst Health and Fitness
One-month membership plans are available, including unlimited "open swim" pool time and exercise room privileges when classes are not in session.

Pool and Whirlpool
Swimming and water exercises loosens up the joints in the body while strengthening their supporting muscles. Our arthritis aquatics classes involve non-stress movements to music in our therapeutic pool. One might also choose aqua-fit classes or non-impact aerobics designed to improve mobility. Certified lifeguard instructors lead all programs. Or perhaps you'd just like to swim laps or visit with friends during our open swim times.

A constant temperature of 88° soaks away aches while providing a great workout. Our pool is long enough for lap swimming yet, at four feet, is shallow enough to keep your head above water. And for those who feel more comfortable not climbing steps, we offer a pool lift. There's also a 100° whirlpool to relax away the day.

Exercise Room

Fitness classes led by professional instructors trained in the specialized needs of seniors focus on stretching, strengthening and joint flexibility that improve balance and coordination. Enjoy the companionship of other fitness minded folks while improving your overall health in instructor-led classes or use our fitness equipment on your own. Our climate-controlled exercise room offers a variety of bikes, treadmills and weight machines.

Showers and Lockers

Clean, spacious locker rooms with showers are conveniently located adjacent to the exercise room, across from the pool.
