ISLIP, NY – December 9th, 2025 - The Town of Islip is proud to announce the newest edition of its popular senior-focused fitness television program, Get Fit with Nick, featuring trainer Nick Nuzzolo. The 2026 edition launches January 1, 2026 and will air on Channel 18 in the Town of Islip at 8:30 AM, 2:00 PM, and 6:00 PM.

Designed specifically for seniors and beginners, Get Fit with Nick provides safe, easy-to-follow exercises that cover all the basics and encourage residents to stay active, healthy, and moving.

This marks the fourth edition of the program, which began in 2021 during the COVID-19 pandemic. The idea was initiated by Islip Town Supervisor Angie Carpenter, who sought to create accessible exercise opportunities for those unable to visit gyms or attend group classes during lockdowns.

Supervisor Carpenter noted  “When we first launched Get Fit with Nick in 2021, our goal was simple: keep our seniors moving, motivated, and connected at a time when so many were isolated. Today, this program continues to be an essential resource. Staying active is one of the most important things seniors can do for their health, mobility, and overall well-being — and sometimes we all need a little nudge to get up and get going!”

In addition to airing on Channel 18, the new 2026 edition will also be available on the Town of Islip YouTube page, allowing residents to exercise anytime, anywhere.
