Health & Care Resources > Fitness and Wellness

The Gardens of Peterborough is proud to have a Fitness and Wellness Coordinator on our Care team. As part of our commitment to care for the "whole" individual, the Fitness and Wellness Coordinator ensures that each resident has opportunities to develop and maximize their physical abilities. Our program includes regular exercise, balance-improvement, and mobility classes to help you maintain an independent lifestyle. Our holistic approach to "Wellness" encourages opportunities such as Yoga, Tai Chi, Relaxation and other alternative forms of health enhancing therapies.

Our certified staff can provide an individual assessment of your current status and assist you and your family in developing a program just for you. Working on your own or with staff, each Gardens of Peterborough community has exercise rooms and equipment to help improve your fitness levels and give you the strength and energy you need to stay healthy and active.

Community Connections
Instruction and information sessions on such topics as Healthy Aging and post surgical and illness recovery programs are all a part of our "Wellness" programming. The Gardens of Peterborough is proud of its community links with various social agencies in health-related fields. These organizations are an important part of the local community and they form a regular part of The Gardens experience, providing ongoing programming and special interest sessions.

Fitness for the Young at Heart
Exclusive to Royal Gardens, we are proud to offer a state-of-the-art Fitness Centre, complete with Keiser exercise equipment, to help you meet your personal fitness goals. Keizer equipment is designed especially for seniors. It is powered by pressurized air rather than weights to ensure safety. Our fitness centre with its variety of equipment, is available to all of our Gardens residents. We are also pleased to extend the opportunity to use our Fitness Centre to the family members of our residents. Visit a loved one and enhance your own well being—all in one stop! We are confident that you and your family will find the lifestyle at The Gardens of Peterborough is your gateway to a healthier experience in aging. Let us show you how!

Physiotherapy Programs
We are also pleased to offer on-site Physiotherapy Services provided by Arvan Group Rehab. Each resident is entitled to two physiotherapy treatments per week under their OHIP coverage.

Some benefits of physiotherapy include:

  • Pain management

  • Increased strength and flexibility

  • Improved mobility

  • Quicker healing time after injuries.

As a result, residents will improve their quality of life and enhance the performance of their day to day activities.
