We are proud to announce new episodes of "Get Fit with Nick," now premiering across all Town channels. The 30–45-minute workout programs have been designed to help seniors improve their fitness and overall well-being, no matter their starting fitness level. Choose from any of the three programs: Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced.

“Exercise is essential for seniors, and 'Get Fit with Nick' offers an excellent opportunity to stay active and healthy,” said Islip Supervisor Angie Carpenter. “By following along with Nick's exercises, seniors can improve their balance, flexibility, and strength, reducing their risk of chronic diseases, while promoting improved mental health.”
