Fitness Fusion

The Fitness Fusion Club meets at 10:30 a.m. on Tuesdays upstairs in Clubhouse 6, and at 10:30 a.m. on Thursdays and Saturdays at Veterans Plaza.

Stretching is one of the club’s 18 types of exercises. There are many health benefits associated with exercise. “Healthful Living Summer 2022” reported that exercise helps protect against Type 2 diabetes by modifying metabalism, how the body’s cells change food into energy. Consistent physical activity also improves insulin secretion. The club also includes other exercises, which as weight lifting, squats, cardio, jogging, yoga and qigong, all done to music. People should bring their own weights to the meetings at Veterans Plaza.

In addition to health benefits, being involved in this club has a social element. The club has lots of interesting people, including member Jerome Kluever, who takes his exercise very seriously, not only in the Fitness Fusion class but also in the Zumba and table tennis clubs.

In fact, that is why Jerome moved to Leisure World as soon as he found out that they had a room full of ping pong tables. People have interesting back stories, like Jerome who was once a prison guard at the Richard J. Donovan Correctional Facility in San Diego. He also met his wife, Nicole, at an airport and thought she was the prettiest girl he ever saw.

Fitness Fusion has class size limitations on Tuesdays but not on Thursday and Saturdays at the Veterans Plaza.
