Otago is an evidence-based strength and balance group exercise class, offered free on Zoom. All of the exercises can be modified for different fitness levels. Otago meets once a week. Each class is 30 minutes long. You don't have to turn on your camera to join in and no equipment is needed. Registering after a session has started is okay - you can join in any time.

This class is offered specifically for members of the LGBTQ community, or those living with HIV, as well as their allies, friends, & family.

Why should you participate?

 

  • Exercise improves your physical health: strength, endurance, and flexibility
  • People living with HIV may have conditions like neuropathy or fatigue that can be improved with exercise
  • Participating in exercise, especially in a group, improves mood and reduces depression and anxiety

Otago classes are offered at these times:

  • Fridays 3:00-3:30 pm CT: Otago - for members of the LGBTQ and/or HIV communities, and their allies, friends, & family
