Active Wellness Center at Kruse Woods’ newly expanded Fall Prevention Program is designed to improve strength, balance, independence, fall risk awareness, and overall health of participants in order to prevent falls and improve quality of life.
Fall Prevention classes will be led by Medical Exercise Specialists Mana Shintani and Zach Ovall, whose individual class series will focus on unique yet complementary aspects of fall prevention and recovery, resulting in a well-rounded and effective training program.

Fall Prevention Skills & Strength with Zach Ovall will kick off our new format on Wednesday, September 10th with classes running Wednesdays/Fridays from 12pm-12:50pm.
