Resident Led Programs Encourage Wellness

Brickstone by St. John’s resident Anita Spoor spoke with News 8 WROC about the fitness program she leads every week. Music and Movement with Anita provides the residents of Brickstone with the chance to stay active — no matter their abilities.

“I want [the residents] to realize that if they keep moving and healthy,” said Anita, “they can continue to stay active for as long as they choose.”

Anita, who moved into Brickstone by St. John’s a little over a year ago, told WROC that “wellness is a spectrum” and requires daily work. She said that “everyone has been so supportive” regarding her class, and she is happy that St. John’s encourages her to cultivate her passion for fitness.
