Stay Fit & Have Fun: Wellness Classes for Seniors in St. Tammany

Getting older doesn't mean slowing down—it means moving with purpose, connecting with others, and embracing a lifestyle that supports both body and spirit. At COASTseniors, wellness is more than a workout—it's community, nutrition, laughter, and love.

Across eight vibrant Activity Centers in St. Tammany Parish, we're proud to provide seniors with opportunities to stay active, eat well, and enjoy meaningful connections every single day.

💪 Wellness with a Purpose

Our activity centers offer a variety of fitness and movement classes designed for seniors of all ability levels. From relaxing yoga to line dancing and balance exercises, our goal is to help our members:

  • Improve strength and flexibility

  • Reduce fall risk

  • Boost heart health

  • Support mental clarity

  • And most importantly—have fun doing it!

No matter your fitness level, there's something for everyone in our movement and wellness programs.

🍽️ Daily Hot Lunches & Nutrition Classes

We know that wellness starts with what we eat. That’s why each center offers hot, nutritious lunches served Monday through Friday in a community setting. Sharing meals with others creates an uplifting social experience that supports emotional well-being, too.

In addition to daily meals, COAST’s certified nutritionist provides regular classes and presentations that help members make informed, healthy choices around food. Topics range from managing diabetes and portion sizes to how to shop smart on a fixed income.

Each COAST center has its own unique charm—but they all offer the same heart, hospitality, and health-first focus:
