Beginning Feb. 1, the Marion Council on Aging begins a partnership with the Gleason Family YMCA to offer a new group exercise class on Wednesdays and Fridays, 9:30-10:30 a.m. at the Music Hall, 164 Front St.

During this class, instructor Janet Memoli will help participants improve their health while listening to motivating music. Comfortable clothing and a water bottle are suggested. The class uses light hand weights, chairs, bands and a person’s own body weight. This class is open to the community.

The cost is $35 for a 10-week session but is free for members of the YMCA. Registration is required. Call the Marion COA at 508-748-3570 to join the class.

Memoli has been a certified personal trainer for more than 40 years. She has taught classes at Gleason Family YMCA for the past 13 years.
