Program Spotlight: GiGiFIT Adult

Tuesday afternoons are full of movement and exercise at the Playhouse. Our GiGiFIT Adult program takes over our Get Fit Gym and all the open space they can find to work on their fitness.  

The GiGiFIT Adult program introduces key movements of foundational, hip strengthening and balance exercises to implement and practice at any stage of life! The program focuses on improving areas of fitness through activities in strength, endurance, joint stability, balance, movement control and more. 

Our GiGiFIT Adult friends love coming to the Playhouse each week to socialize, laugh, and move together! They are always playing fun games and activities that help challenge them to reach their best of all!  

Rachel Eckert leads our GiGiFIT Adult program. She loves to help our adult friends with nutrition, wellness, and building self-confidence. She encourages our participants to make healthy choices, to drink more water and to have fun while exercising! GiGi’s Playhouse Detroit is thankful for Ms. Rachel and everything she brings to our community.
