Sadly, we can only accommodate so many seniors in our exercise program\u2014mostly due to lack of space, funding, and equipment. In fact, I count on a certain level of absenteeism to prevent the current classes from being overcrowded. Some seniors begin classes, but drop out due to sickness, surgeries, or family obligations. Once they drop out, it\u2019s hard to get them started back again\u2014and now, I may not have room for them to come back. The hardest thing for me is to turn someone away who wants to workout, but short of getting a bigger facility and/or additional instructors, that\u2019s exactly what I\u2019m doing right now. This conundrum has no easy fix. Who would have thought it would ever be hard to get a spot in exercise classes as a senior citizen?
