The Ministry of Recreation at First Baptist Nashville, in addition to providing a wide range of recreational, fitness, sports, and social opportunities for our church members, wants to be a good friend to our downtown community. Through our Recreation Center at Seventh and McGavock, we offer a noontime fitness break for downtown workers.
For a nominal fee, maximum $45.00 for six months (Aerobics: $18 quarterly; fitness room and volleyball: $45 for 6 months), you can participate in aerobics, walking, basketball, volleyball, game room, or use the fitness room with its many aerobic machines.
A Kung Fu Class meets in the Rec Center on Tuesday and Thursday from 7 - 9 p.m. and Saturday from 11 to 12 noon. They are teaching Kung Fu San Soo and self defense. Classes consist of Form (exercise training), self defense techniques, discipline, and proper breathing and relaxation exercises. Visitors are always welcome. Anyone interested in finding out more about the classes can contact either Mike Jones at 337-5369 or Chuck Corey at 243-5850.
Exercise with an Ancient Chinese System of Kung Fu Forms. Kung Fu Forms are an ancient series of movements that work to keep the muscles in the body active. This class is especially good for seniors as it centers on slow movements, low-impact exercise, weight training, balance and strength. Classes meet at the Rec Center every Tuesday night from 6 - 6:45 p.m.
Cost is $30.00 per month--that's less than $7.50 per class! For more information on getting into this class call Kenneth Fletcher at 788-6178 or Margi Hawkins at 664-6050.
