Long-term program participant Bob Zeigler said the program could be an effective anti-depressant, while preventing cognitive decline and decreasing arthritic inflammation.
‘The connections you make in the program lead to friendships that stay with you for life,’ he said.
‘The sessions are about building strength, but are also fun and social places to be.’
